Interesting *non-computer related* job's?

Question

I've always intended to go into something involving computers as a job, I've been studying development, security, operations, anything I can get my hands on.However, the more I look at what computing looks like today, the more I hate the direction it's going, with locked-down OS's, telemetry, backdoors, etc.What are some interesting jobs which are either not related to computers, or have computer skill as a prerequisite, but have other skillsets majorly involved (For example, I read a comment where someone described a job where you would backpack around National Park's and do deployments/maintenance of computers around the park.)?EDIT: I'm open to any suggestions. Anything from hoboing between renfests selling hand-made goods, to being a park ranger, to homesteading a farm. I'm just curious, and looking for ideas.

I'm building a homestead with a long term (12-15 years) goal of growing a hazel nut orchard. I'm only in year 3 but things are progressing albeit slower than I expected. I hopefully can produce around 2 tons of nuts per acre once the trees are mature and it only requires around 50 hours labour per acre, per year. It is only a small 10 acre orchard which I expect to earn around 30K per year for the raw in shell nuts(field price) before value added processing and marketing. Eventually I would like to build a small commercial kitchen to produce craft butter and brittle that I will market online.
The trees were planted 3 years ago but wont begin producing anything substantial for 4 or 5 more years, until then I have a small layer hen operation with farm gate sales and a small wood working side hustle.
It's a low stress simple life which is enjoyable most of the time and provides me with a lot of spare time to pursue my hobbies.
