I’m a teacher in one of the big neoliberal hellscapes and want to get the fuck out. I’m lucky enough that my partner is labor aristocracy and we are talking about trying to save money over the next few years to get a little bit of land to farm up north to get out of the climate apocalypse.
Our long term is to make a space for climate refugees to live in a community and provide mutual aid to people who need it as shit breaks down.
Friends of mine want to do similar stuff and have great skills like being nurses, gardeners, mechanics. As a teacher I have no physical skills but learn pretty quickly.
What skills can I learn to contribute in a post climate world?
While it may be boring and I don't know the extent of your education, teachers are vitally important, so expanding what you are good at teaching would be very valuable. Otherwise farming can be pretty good to read about. A lot of it is hands on but there is still quite a bit of book-work that you can put in.
