People who live in houses off remote highways far from nearby towns, what do you do for a living?

I pickle potatoes and my wife’s a ferret groomer
I used to work for a warehouse in a metropolitan area that was hours away from my house. The only reason I did that was because the jobs that were hiring were hours away from my house and the houses near the jobs cost at least 10X more than where I was living
I do not live there yet, but we have 100 acres neae the smallest of towns. There is a post office, an auto repair place, a feed store and a church, it takes a our 30 seconds to get through that town.
The land is about 45 min from one smallish city and an hour from a larger city with an airport. Not ultra remote, but for day to day life we might as well be hours away from anywhere. We are building a house there and will hopefully move in next summer.
We both work from home. There is good cell reception so we can get a cell based router if our starlink kit doesn’t ship before we move out there. Grocery trips will likely be every couple of weeks, meal planning is a necessity in those situations, as well as a decent kitchen garden for highly perishable produce (I’ll probably set up a small hydroponic garden for stuff like herbs, lettuce and cucumbers during the winter).
IT Process Manager working remotely…over very slow internet.
Pizza Delivery Driver. Living far away from everything most of my life makes driving for hours every day pretty bearable, since I’ve had to anyway.
I’m a welder, I currently commute but I’d like to setup a local shop
I worked on cattle ranches that had onsite housing.
I’m a firefighter/EMT in a medium-large US city. I’m assigned to a particularly busy (read: high-crime) part of the city. I love what I do, but after a busy shift there’s nothing better than escaping to my cabin in the woods where there’s nothing but peace and quiet and no crime; hell, I don’t even lock my doors, like ever.
probably cook meth.

I practice shooting, in case a person or deadly animal goes on my land. The rules here are basically if it goes on your land you can shoot it
