To Arb or Not?

[Arbornot]

High Folks

 

This has probably been asked a 1000 times over but was hopeing for a bit of advice.

 

Ive been made redundant again for about the 2nd time in 5 years from a 90% office based job in funded programme work. but ive been itching for yearrs to get outside and work as you cant beet being in the outdoors. So now might be my chance since being made redundant.

 

To cut a long story short i wandered:

Would arboriculture be more sustainable than landscape work as in amount of work?

What are the prospectss of self employment and making a living from it (not lokking to earn a fortune) as there desn't seem to be many where I live so less chance of being employed by someone else?

Would the 10-12 week course give me the knowledge side of things?

 

Any advice much appreciated

Thanks
