I’d say it’s easy enough if he has some talent.
Some lovely and sage words on this thread. I’ll make sure to “feedback” to my friend.

The one thing I’d say is that if you start working at something that you enjoy and are passionate about, there’s a good chance you’ll start to hate it as it will become the same monotonous work scenario that is currently pissing off your friend. Do it as a hobby or a side gig to keep up your enjoyment in it and if you can make a bit from it, well and good. It’ll also be a good gauge to see if you would like to do it long term as a career.
Just do it.
Doing what you enjoy really does change everything.
EVERYTHING.

Not at all true. Thats just if someone does something they “think” they love bit actually in the end don’t.
And if that happens they should go again.

Don’t walk away from a steady income @Bandage’s mate.
Draw the money and immerse yourself in something you enjoy.
I detest my job and every cunt in there, however I’m the union rep in there, they all think I’m a dedicated nutcase for the union movement…
Yeah right. The extra 5 weeks leave per year kinda sways my thinking. Get on to some scam like this ASAP if you’re bored.

Geez I covered not 1, not 2… But three silage pits this week @Massey. Work is only a hobby for me.
My real job is my kids and local club coaching and then giving the brother and neighbours a dig out when I can.
Fuck that career shit.
Turn up.
Draw the money. Good luck and thanks.

My nearest and latest encounter with a square bale was to sit on one at a co-op open day last year, thank fuck.
The highlight of this week was to witness my auld lad tipping a load of dung onto the bottom of the pit with a john Deere loader while humming with his grandson ’ cake by the ocean’.
Hard beat.
