well dude,just for reminding,my uncle on my hometown work as a farmer,on 2018 i am back to my hometown, and I do what he does on his farm. for sure its really hard,and also many many thing u need to learn about agriculture,i just wonder,did u really want to sacrifife your IT skill just because this pandemic,just try some new thing with your skill,i am sure u will get some,rather than work as a farmer,i doesn't say farmer is a bad job,of course it is a noble work,but well,its just kinda dissapoint to see people desperate like this.

Well i just hope it will get better else 15 years of experience goes down the toilet do to some chinese guy in Wuhan who decided he has to eat bats for dinner... if it goes bad i will raise prices and do something else until it gets better again i hope... i can't complain as i can afford to raise prices and wait ... but some people can't ... IT sector is crumbling...people say they need us but i don't see money moving ...Today someone asked me to build him something that takes 3 months to build i gave him price 4500 euros ...fair price do to economic coditions ...and he wanted me to build his project for 300 euros .... "300 euros for 3 months of work are you joking or mad ?"

Obviously, whoever the client is mad.
I actually agree that your services is the need now.

Perhaps you cannot just find the right clients. I wont stop there.
There is so much out there rather than switching to something far away from your skills.

Consider the facts also that clients are trying to minimize their expenses due to the virus but your example is just the worst.
No IT will agree with that, even the lowest one who is in deep need of money.

I understand minimizing costs ... but 300 euros for 3 months of work ? not even in Eastern Ukraine they accept that ... not even the lowest skilled worker in that country will accept this ...
