Not too old, but probably knocking on the door.

 

There's  bound to be someone on in a bit saying they started at age 73 and now 30 years later they're as good as anyone (Timon probably) 

 

What do you hope to achieve? If you think that it's just day after day of swinging  around trees to rapturous applause coming down at the end  covered in sweat and sawdust to be ushered into the client's master bedroom to rut with the wife like a pair of seasoned up hyenas, pausing briefly on the way out to collect a grand in cash from the grateful husband, well, that's only two or three days a week.

 

What do you do now? Why do you want to do this work?

 

 BTW. in answering these questions use of the word "passionate" like its Masterchef or something is banned

 

 

 

 

Why do you do that work ?

Hi all, was just wondering what you experienced guys thought, but I am 35 and thinking of a career change and training/starting as a tree surgeon. Do you think it is possible to start at this age?

Not sure President Macron subscribes to that school of thought.
