Be a landscaper (I mean you run your own company)if you are OK with labour intensive works but make sure to offer a lower rate for competition. Many vietnameses are in this business and are making much money. I am sure you can beat them if you would do a neat and better job. It is not a good idea to work for somebody in the plants/trees business (including greenhouses,nurseries, tree farms etc) ,you would almost for sure to make a humble living. I myself had ventured that direction and can hardly make much more than the minimum wages even though I had finished 2 landscape design courses (with 2 certificates). Keep in mind: be a landscaper, not a landscape designer, a landscape designer makes no money.

非常感谢您非常中肯的建议,我想可能和中国一样,靠农业赚钱是很难的,给人打工就更困难了。每办法,行业就是如此。我在国内省一级的技术部门,职称也晋升的算很快的了,可我那些搞通讯 ' T) ~: v! n. J& d计算机的同学比,工资差两倍还多,没办法啊,不能比。男怕入错行,女怕嫁错郎。可是说实话,我挺喜欢这个行业的,除了工资低,我到不在乎风吹日晒,毕竟也是一把年纪了,好看赖看的无所谓了。我老婆就劝我说过去改行吧,否则很辛苦,但我还是愿意在相关专业做点事,您说的话我一定记住,要干就自己干。真的感谢您的热心,谢谢·!请以后多指点。另外我想问一下您现在做什么呢?过来多长时间了?以前就是学园林设计的吗?

I am still an active gardener and orchid grower though.
