Look, I also forced to close my business temporarily, and what I said to my stakeholders was, "try to survive this pandemic by any means necessary, and we will come back stronger than before." In other words, there's an option to stop the business temporarily, not to change direction permanently.
Wow, that last part was amazing. Very well said, dude. And I agree with that. This pandemic have affected and continues to affect all of us regardless of what you do in life. Maybe, for a while, shifting to a different field is an option in order to survive. Many have lost their jobs and a side hustle would be a great help in this trying time. But drifting away from your original work or business is not that easy unless you are really decided to shift career. After all, we're in the digital era. IT-related business would always be in demand. Agriculture would never go out of style, too. So maybe you can do both. Enrich your land but not necessarily leaving that IT side of yours.
I have to agree switching from one another is not easy especially if you are already established with it you can't get enough what you need if you will jump out instantly. Like online businesses right now, As I notice to my daily feed on social media, those businesses who already has an online option are getting a lot of orders/customers unlike those who just started during the pandemic, worse is that they only have a few people noticing that they have an online business. As for businesses theses days, technology based businesses is growing like computer and accessories since the new normal will be mostly available online. IT degree holders will have many direction on where they want to excel to.
