R8 the first paragraphs of my novel. Eventually the story will involve bigfoot btw.

Strawberry fields, Mantly must have heard some poem or song or otherwise pleasant allusion to strawberry fields. Because when he stumbled into town that first day, hot and utterly exhausted from the trek, yet already looking for work he thought, strawberry picker eh? Sounds cool, pleasant and relaxing.
Well it turns out it’s just strawberries that are cool, pleasant and relaxing, their fields, and the act of picking them are just tedious and hot. Not hard work, not really, just annoying and a tad demeaning. He knew the job was mostly for children and women, but he had a vague notion that the women would be of the…luscious variety, again, he was thinking of strawberries.
The women turned out to be wiry old things with surprisingly strong and nimble fingers. They picked faster than Mantly, which means they made more money. Plus they seemed to have a better time doing it, all the time chatting and laughing in their big straw hats. While Mantly awkwardly shuffled on his knees down the rows filling his basket with no hat. He didn’t like hats, for some reason. Plus as a young healthy man perhaps that animal vitality of his could be better used in another line of work.
Well now I know, he thought.
Suddenly he realized his basket was full. He looked at the sun, ow, he looked away. It’s a bit past noon, only a couple hours to go. But now that he’d decided to leave the prospect of three more hours fingering fruit in the sun didn’t sound at all appealing.

based. Do you perhaps enjoy drinking alone sitting in a lawnchair, in your basement as well? Probably my favorite hobby besides reading.

Yea this vibes. Thanks anon.

Universities have completely outlived their purpose and I can't wait until they're finally replaced by 3-to-12 months of mostly online courses administred by people who actually work in the area.
