A really tough course or other brain-torturing exercise, eg programming, advanced
calculus or effective ventriloquism. Symptoms include
poverty due to the rising cost of Advil and long hours
crying and asking "Why the hell did I enroll in this?" to random strangers on the street.
Example
1Tom: There goes Luke again. Ever since he went into advanced
computer programming, he's been literally insane.
Jerry: Yeah, that course is a migraine
farmer all right.
Example 2
Man, ever since I started trying to imitate Jeff Dunham, I've realized how much of a migraine farmer ventriloquism is! How does he do it?
