Biff thinks about working on a farm and that money and possessions are not the most important thing in the world.
Biff sees the world as a place meant for hard work if you are well and able. Biff also sees the truth that his father, Willy, is slowly slipping and there's nothing he can do to help him.

Death of a Salesman
What influences Biff the most is his father. The way he responds to situations and how he acts. He taught him that if you are well-liked and attractive life comes easy, and that stealing is okay as long as the item is(eventually)returned.
(pg 30)"Willy 'i want you to return that....Coach'll probably congratulate you on initiate"
Biff is also influenced by the decisions his father make for example the affair
Biff desires a life where his father understood his true calling and followed him. Where Happy did not follow his fathers failing path and where his mother never had to worry for Willy's safety and her own.
Burning his shoes ending the dreams he strived for. Removing the rubber pipe himself realizing Willy is putting not only himself in danger but his mother too.
Biff’s turning point is after he goes to Boston to see his father to ask him to talk to Mr. Birnbaum about changing his math mark. When he gets to Boston he found out that his father, Willy, had an affair. He returns home and burns his University of Virginia sneakers. This is the point where Biff gave up on himself and his future, and he also gave up on Willy.
At the end of the play Biff is trying to tell his father that he is a bum, he isn’t some great salesmen that can just smile and make money. He hates it in the city and he wants to leave and work with his hands doing something that requires physical strength.
