Is it a skilled job?

 

tell them that is one of the MOST ridiculous questions!

 

then ask them if they would have one of thier grass cutters take a big beech down over thier OWN house!

[Frankie Lawrence]

the people carrying out the pay review have never had any arboriculture experience at all

 

Simple take them out for a week being a groundie hard work and skillful aint what you get on your average job.

 

at least you get to appeal.

I know skilled guys and some who I would struggle to call semi-skilled.

[Mesterh]

Unless someone is in training how can they be classed as semi-skilled:confused1:

To be fair i think just your basic NPTC tickets and a couple of years under your belt doesnt really make you skilled IMO. The people who have the degrees and diplomas and many years experience are the skilled workers. It takes a long time to learn and master. Can of worms now open I consider myself 23% skilled

NPTCs and five years in the game full time and your skilled, 10 well skilled 15 very skilled and any longer and your top of the game, so skilled after five I reckon.

 

A degree dont mean squatt in the real world, it just means you got smarts, not skill, i know guys with degrees that couldnt talk a decent spec let alone do one!
