I went from a Full Stack Software Engineer -> Lead -> Eng Man -> Burnout -> Wild Mushroom Exporter in Zambia.

Currently trying to become a wild beekeeper dropping hives anywhere anyone will let me while coding on side projects at the same time.

I recommend beekeeping. Go on a course somewhere, learn a little, get a hive, make mistakes, learn, scale, profit.

What, was goat farming too pedestrian for you??

(Just a little joke, based the meme of developers quitting their jobs to start a goat farm.)

Also, I'm allergic to bees.

Oooof, I don't... maybe you know the secret, but being an amateur beekeeper and watching what the pros do, it looks darn hard to reach scale.

Curious! What do the hives you drop look like?

I'm assuming no-touch hives are designed differently than honey-extractive hives.
