Why is the pay so low??

[MattyF]

I think are industry attracts

A .people with no clue of what and why they are doing other than they see people charging a lot of money for somthing they cant comprehend and have no idea and no insurance or training,or are industrys cowboys.

B. rich kid boy scouts whos mummy and daddy buy them a load of gear when they decide they want to drop out of uni set them selfs up as a tree surgeon,and get qualified now many colleges that are offering such training.

.

Any one else has to compete with these two and it makes the whole thing a mess!

[Mesterh]

Its already full tho

 

See, You dont know what your doing on the ground

Its quite simple really, people who employ others in arb can pick and choose there workforce because there are just far to many people doing arb related courses/training thus employment cost ergo pay is low.

 

It is the same with arb companies there are far to many of them chasing work because workers not happy with the above situation of pay have the bright idea to set up on there own thinking that no-one else has thought of doing that.

 

Places of education and training councils etc are only to happy for people to pay them for training/qualification and in return they will output many times more trained people than the industry could ever support because there happy to take there money and lie to candidates about prospects of work &/or pay etc.

When it's good it a great job. Few better. A lets face it, most of us feel more of a man then the next in a pub when asked what we do. There's kudos in what we do. I climb, and love every minute i'm off the ground. It's going to attract lots of people to the trade.

 

Combined with colleges churning out people with tickets

 

And cowboys bang bang out for the buck.

 

Is therer any surprise there's lots of competition.

 

Supply and demand.

As has been said, its simply supply and demand.

Look on the bright side, to get into the antiques trade is way worse, the auction houses employ graduates on a voluntary basis for the first year, some will be lucky to get a small salary, maybe 8K. This is why all auctioneers are posh, you need daddy's money just to support yourself during the first years.
