Urban life or local life

カテゴリ： Essay

Today, I would like to consider if I prefer urban life or local life.

Actually, I love natural life. I love mountains, rivers, forests, pastures, farming and every thing in rural area. But to live there, I have to earn some money living there.
This seems too difficult for me in following reasons.

Too little jobs.
As rural area mainly consists of farming and little retailer shops and rural governments, it is very difficult to get a job, especially for married women with kids. Usually women are considered to be part-timers and could not earn as much as I wish.

Difficult to be a farmer.
In Japan, it used to be difficult to be a farmer. People living in farming areas used to be very closed and there were strict regulation to inhibit non-farmers to buy farming lands. But in these days, those situations are changing due to rural exodus and aging population. And consequently, the number of newly joined farmers turned to increase in year 2000 after 30 years of decreasing.
Still, to me, to be a farmer seems to be too difficult.

I don't know if this is true, and if I truly want to live in rural area, I will search for the truth and seek for the solution be a farmer, but my incentive for it is not so strong.

So, my tendency to rural area must just be a dream, and I will answer to the question if I prefer a rural life of urban life, I will reluctantly answer to urban life.(283 words)
