3. Farmer
As a farmer in North Korea, you’ll have access to limited number of machinery. Most of the work is done by hand.
If you’re not a fan of busy city life, get a job in the rural parts of North Korea and enjoy the misery of staying outdoors all day.
The monthly income is $1-$2 a month. However, you’ll be able to enjoy the recently introduced benefit of keeping a share of your crops before handing over the majority of it to the state.
Your tasks will include:
- Feeding the hungry nation,
- Giving a substantial share of your crops to the state,
- Tending to cows, pigs, and goats.
