Farmer
People were always asking Philip why he decided to become a farmer. And there was any number of different reasons he could give them: a steady income, providing a service to the community, good excercise. But the real reason he became a farmer was for the freedom. He could set his own work hours, he didn't have any superiors to report to, and his work only took a few hours each morning which left the rest of the day to do whatever he wanted.
The way Philip saw it, the work may be hard, but the rewards are worth it.
