Starting out

Cheers, yeah I'm under no illusion that some days really will suck, luckily after being on building sites the ice cold sideways rain won't be too much of a shock.

 

So if I got those tickets and did a few Saturdays every now and then it should be a pretty good indicator of the work load and industry.

 

Thing is in my head, even if I get the tickets and don't go fully into it as a career just yet at least it's more on the CV and knowledge for me.

 

If your passionate about it,id say you'll have longevity in the industry.

Guess so ! but think about the amount of people you have employed over the years and how many are still in the industry, is it a high number ? I think it's definitely got better these days as opposed to the 90's for a long term career but still a high rate decide it's not for them in the long term.

 

When you say in the industry, I think you have to differentiate between those that thought of tree work as a career and those who "took the coin" until something better came along.

 

For the climber it takes a while to get bored where dragging brash for a living gets old quickly

I hope so, the career i have followed has done me some favours and i'm forever grateful for the opportunities i've had but it's never really captivated me.

 

I really think becoming and Arborist will quench the thirst for getting stuck into manual labour again, learning new things and having a variety of working conditions and challenges, along with being genuinely interesting. :thumbup:

I can imagine like most jobs, one aspect may become tedious or boring but with the bad comes the good like you say with the climbing aspect of things.

 

I really can't imagine at this moment how brilliant it must be having to clamber up and organise every cut, every drop!
