How/why did you get into treework?

[Mike Hill]

Jeasus guided me into a profession that would serve the living God.

 

Actually I got expelled from school and was to young to join the Army.

[Jack-Arb aka Tiago Sinclair-Julio.]

Fed up with crap, boring, badly paid jobs. I heard from a cousin that you cold earn money climbing trees. Ever sinse I was a kid I enjoyed climbing trees (most of the time to nick fruit with my mates, in those long summer nights of southern Portugal).

So went to college got some background knowledge, then got my first job got experience and really like it...

If someone would have told me then - that I would end up climbing trees for a living, I would have laughed!

This is why I'm thinking about getting out of this game, to be honest.

Life is what you make of it, no need to get out of it, just change your approach. dont like working for a company for low wages, then go out there and make it happen, and it will!

I know how I got into treework, I wish I hadn't, i've wasted a good chunk of my life in this thankless proffesion, thats riddled with more cowboys than 1840's Montana!
