Purpose

Empirical studies on occupational choice have typically concentrated on a specific sector. The purpose of this study is to compare two sectors wherein there are grounds to hypothesise that lifestyle reasons play a key role for occupational choice.

Design/methodology/approach

Arguing that the potential for qualitative web scraping is still underused, the hypothesis is tested through qualitative web scraping for occupational choices.

Findings

It is shown that incomes for farmers are both documented in a better way and higher than in arts. The central roles played by farmers in the provision of basic needs and in powerful value chains are possible reasons for this difference. As a common factor between the sectors, two-thirds of both farmers and artists choose their profession for reasons of self-realisation or societal motives.

Originality/value

This study is the first to show both common grounds and differences in occupational choices of two different sectors.

艺术和农业中的职业选择–混合方法刮网方法

目的

关于职业选择的实证研究通常集中在特定部门。这项研究的目的是比较两个部门，其中有理由假设生活方式的原因在职业选择中起着关键作用。

设计/方法/方法

认为定性刮网的潜力仍未得到充分利用，该假设通过定性刮网的职业选择进行了检验。

发现

结果表明，农民收入既有更好的记录，也比艺术收入要高。农民在提供基本需求和强大的价值链中发挥的核心作用可能是造成这种差异的原因。作为部门之间的共同因素，三分之二的农民和艺术家都是出于自我实现或社会动机的原因而选择他们的职业。

创意/价值

这项研究首次显示了两个不同部门的共同点和职业选择的差异。
