I went to college to get my business degree and now work a BS corporate job, and I hate it more then life itself. I work on my buddies farm on some weekends and I absolutely love every second of it. I absolutely object to the idea that I have to join the corporate world and be miserable. I am a do it yourself kind of guy and rely only on myself. I am a minimalist and I live day to day.

I love what this great country has to offer but I dont know if I necessarily want its generic BS dream. Can I live without working a miserable 9 to 5 and support myself I have no money to buy my own land?
 
despite your extreme right-wing tendencies, I would say you are anti-establishment

you're here and it seems that you like drugs. liking drugs and being here, while trying to project yourself as a conservative, could actually make you more anti-establishment than the liberal majority here. scary thought, huh?

Why would the promotion of government IE being liberal, be any more anti establishment?

I am clearly only fiscally conservative.
 
if you like working on farms, and want to get away from the corporate grind, look into WWOOFing. farms will give you some sort of housing and pay you a stipend to work on their farms. i have friends who have done this all over the world, including several places in the US. they have settled down now and manage a outdoor school/farm in the pacific northwest.

I wouldn't say you are anti establishment, I just think you have a shitty job. It is possible to find a corporate job that you really love, it usually involves being higher up the food chain than middle management and getting paid a great salary to sit around and look at porn on your lap top. Better yet being flown around the country to look and porn and receive a travel allowance.

Working on a farm out doors can be fun and rewarding but then again like any job it comes with pressure. Ask any farmer in times of drought or flood or when their crops fail and they have no way to feed their family except borrow from a bank whether they would trade their life with your Dilbert life.

If you truly want to drop out and you don't have the financial means the some sort of commune is perhaps what you seek. Bare in mind though they any group of more than 10 people will develop it's own politics over time and what starts out as Nirvana can quite often turn into Lord of the Flies.
