I was recently asked, unexpectedly, what would I do if AI took my job.

The first thing that came to mind was to become a coffee grower, farmer, producer or something with coffee.

Now I cant shake that thought!

It's an idyllic dream, as long as you don't need to make money!

No one who touches beans makes money. Only the largest multinational traders and cafes. The money from the specialty coffee chain goes to landlords, shipping companies, and equipment manufacturers.

Of course you'll need to live in the tropics too.

For learning about coffee production, the podcast "Making Coffees" by Lucia Solis is excellent (and industry award winning).
