I think this boils down to a question of timing to maximise your exit
point.

Nevertheless I still maintain it is not impossible to get out of
farming, or change direction, but would concede that to do so is not
easy to time perfectly.

not impossible but awfully complicated.
We have a lot of the same ties as non-farmers, plus extra ones. For
example, It was suggested I apply for a particular job. Trouble is
daughter is just at the wrong stage of GCSEs to change school.
That is something that virtually everyone can face at one time or
another. But on top of that a farmer can be tied into tenancy
agreements.
