Isabel Gerenstein is going viral for leaving school to own a flower farm. The 26-year-old former astrophysics student gained viral attention after her boyfriend posted her flower collection in an Instagram Reel. After starting at local markets in her hometown of Hampshire, England, the viral post shows her personal landmark debut at local festival with 22K attendees. Now, Gerenstein’s risky switch is not only motivating others online, but also encouraging younger gens to explore career options beyond traditional college pathways and to consider alternative job routes. And thanks to the encouragement she’s received, her business Beller’s Blooms is navigating the colder season without any issues. (Newsweek)
