Arborist are we skilled or semi skilled

Its my life too (except beer and women, oh and cinema) (oh and mountainbiking, and DIY) (oh, my friend and family) (well not so much my family) but other than that (oh, did I mention beer) other than that it is my life.

 

 

Sorry, seriously, imagine it being your life and lovign it BUT not wanting recogntion. How great and fulfilled would your life be then? You'd have everything, and then you might even get some recognition as well?

 

Rupe, when you know me better youll start to realise there is a flaw (I like it) in my character that makes me a tryer, i mean REALLY try! I got into photography, became a prize winner, got into fishing, captured some legends in legend time.... it is in my nature, i cant help it, im driven by some sadistic insane urge to do it LARGE!!

No, my opinion or analogy may be different to yours, but not mistaken.

tony unless you find peace in yourself you will never be content. Like it or not, the amount of money we take home at the end of the day, is the medal we recieve. it might be a plastic one for effort or gold for being good at what you do. you say you are not financially motivated, yet you are struggling at the moment. I am not a cowboy and i do adhere to h+s, i am serious about going AA aproved aswell, but only if its financially worth while, simples. i have always been a grafter, and usually the volume of work you get through equalls the amount of money you take home, but sometimes you can get in the way of yourself, i did. so i seeked help from SKILLED people. First of all i got my head sorted, then the rest fell into place, i would get on my high horse about how hard i worked and how skillfull this job was, i here myself in your comments a lot. but since i sorted my head out, the rest has just fallen into place. we are responsible for our actions. If someone put your life on paper and made a spread shgeet of your ins and outs and goals, it might not make sense the way you are doing it, thats what i was doing just going from one thing to another with a plan that was doomed before i started.

Thats great, go for it, its not a flaw. But you could spend the rest of your life happy in the woods looking at funghi, or unhappy cos no one recognises the fact the you spend all your time in the woods looking at funghi.

I was only stating my opinions.

 

Its tree work, not rocket science or brain surgery, so if there are only three catagories I would happily put what we do in the middle one, no matter how skilled we actually are.
