Young Arborist

[gand]

There has been a few jobs advertised recently in Ozz, NZ, and Canada on here. I  think they've said they will help with a visa etc. Get it done now before you get landed with kids and an overbearing other half. I stayed for a woman after being offered a job down under and I regret it. The only thing I'm left with now is an overbearing ex and my little lass. Which was the best thing to come out of it.

Years ago I worked in a small workshop and an 18-year-old came in from a college. He was OK, not brilliant, not bad. He had the opportunity to get into a quite niche industry but his heart wasn't fully in it. He was however bang into his band and had the opportunity to tour the US, take drugs, bang girls etc. I recommended he did that. He did and I bet he had the time of his life. He'll have come back far readier to become a good worker at the age of 20. Not exactly your situation I know but what I'm trying to get across is the importance of seizing the day. I've let a few opportunities pass me by and my life is the poorer for it.

I did the travelling Arborist thing for about 8 years on and off. Two winters in Germany, a summer in Canada a Winter there too., three in Alaska , England, Norway, New Zealand as well as plenty of travelling in between. As your skills grow you will learn how to position yourself in the market and what to charge. " Arborists" never make the really good coin, its the guys that can get the big stuff down fast day after day and keep the damage to a minimum.

 

You won't really learn big tree wrecking in Europe.

 

Its all there waiting for you, I made the right idea to save what I could and that ment I could drop a big wedge on starting a company with alk the right kit from the get go.

Presumably the gearbox, axles and engine went.

He tells it like a love story but that might be closer to the truth....

Drop us a private message mate. They are extending the age limit for working holiday to 35 from June so I’m looking at heading back over next year.

Best thing about working in NZ ,will be gaining the contacts to move to Aus in order to earn twice as much. Tree work in NZ is a mugs game frankly.

@Medbooth did you ever make a decision?
