Looking to drop out and join an commune!

I'm in the NJ area, and would like to join a commune, live off the land etc. I am 24 years old, and cannot find a job, keep up with my student loans, and am generally tired of mainstream life. Does anyone know of anywhere I could go to live out my dream? Living on a commune off the grid seems really appealing to me, and I would love to learn how to grow my own food etc. I am in Southern NJ, and have no transportation, which puts a damper on things.
I am young, willing to work, and am fairly intelligent, but would need to learn about farming and so forth. Can anyone help me out?

 

Hey, I'm also in NJ and lived in a commune before, have mad skills, lived in the mountains surviving off the land, and hope to go back or start something once I take care of a few things first.

As am I. Things are very stagnant presently in spite of consistent looking to get [further] enmeshed in society, and leaving it all for a simple life is not only appealing, but making too much sense / is the "effortless" choice at this point... A commune where I both am of good work use for and fit in / get along with those there, or traveling partner / defender, etc... I don't know. No need to limit to one type of outcome as far as this area goes...

 

I knew i wasn't alone in feeling this way. I just feel like there's nothing in society for me, no job, I can't afford to go back to school. I want to get started, but I don't know where to begin.

 

I have been in the same sinking ship. College seems like it will get me nothing that I care for. I am deciding what my next move will be. I don't know if I want to travel the United States, clearing my head for a bit, or join a commune. A commune seems like the logical choice for the comforts of a home and the support of others, and the sustainable living aspect is truly what I feel everyone should try to pursue. Let's start one!

 

Take useful classes like archaeology and anthropology. Yoga is a good calss if they still have it. I took it for PE credits. Nutrition, geology are useful for finding minerals and staying healthy. I never understood the rigid curriculum of majors colleges demand. People should be well rounded and discovering their interests and talents. Especially younger students.
