just a question

[Al Duffill]

Climbing trees, chainsaws...what else could you ask for!? The satisfaction when you get to ground, undo your ropes, take a slow walk away then turn around, look at the tree and say "oh s**t, wrong one!":biggrin: Hopefully you'll say to y'self "fantastic!" and have a sense of self satisfaction:001_smile:

Dont get me wrong, I really do love my job but i know if i won the lottery id never touch a tree again In fact id PAY other people to work on my trees!!

 

So although its great and i love it and i cant ever see myself doing anything else, i suppose i only do it for the money!

[MattyF]

for the hours i put in the money is bad but i love it!... how many peole can say that about there job???

 

If i won the lottery i would do it with better gear and more holidays!

 

was thinking about this alot today... i love it, i really do,the thing that lost me years ago though was working my guts out and running crews for people who took all the benifit now i turn over a third of what i used to in a day But two thirds of that is mine!

My male model career never took off so i picked up a chainsaw

i think the small things amount to alot with this work. workmates you can have a laugh with, customers that are really pleased with the work, views from the tree - just some of the many things.

this is me talking after just over a year in the industry, so check back in 20 years to see what makes me tick.

pruned 18 fruit trees for an old dear today, repeat customer,

gave her the bill, she gave me the cheque,

and a tenner, with the comment, " you've done a beautiful job"

 

thats what keeps me in this job

[Heads up]

What keeps me going is

the excellent pay, short working hours, generous holiday allowance, coming home full of energy, lack of stress.....oh hang on:lol:
