pay

[dodger]

i been a climber for 30 years plus now, about 20 years ago a climber was on £75 to £90 aday, about 10 years ago most firms would pay £100 to £120s aday, these days it depends anything to £80 to rarely £100 aday, its a demanding and very dangerous job , that take years to be a skill climber, but theses days you can be a delivery driver 8am to 4 pm finnish , dont get wet and knacked , and get more money, really tree surgery when you look at all the risk and other fators, its poorly paid job

[Johny Walker]

tree work has always been under valued,imo,dont know why ,may be its just 1, of those jobs

[Chris Gagen]

hmmm, and i thought i had a good deal with a newbie climber for £80/day... (no offence neil, you're worth every penny:thumbup1:)

imo tree work is as dangerous as you want it to be , es years ago the money was a bit better but then climbers were pretty thin on the ground , now colleges are turning out hundreads per year .

If you want the money become a delivery driver if you want job satisfaction keep doing what you know.

Have you had to drop your prices to get work in the recession? and if so are you paying lads that work for you less? just wondering thanks Egg
