Wages??

[Ian Flatters]

I earn a lot more money per yearly turnover by doing tree work than my consultancy BUT my profit margins are higher and my overheads are lower from doing it (consultancy).

 

I think my percentage is 40% consultancy and 50% tree work 10% quoting.

£30k means your going to have to run your own biz. Posts at such a rate are like hens teeth for sure.

 

Fact.

I'll re-post in a couple of years then...

 

 

PMA and all that!

I have worked for nothing, only on a couple of trial days with my first tree job, from then on I was on a whopping £8k a year!

I think we have to take onto account the area in which your working

[Mark Bolam]

A decent freelance climber should be able to gross £30k a year.

 

Probably not the longest career in the world, mind.

Yes that does sound a bit low but it seems wages in the arb industry are low when you work as employed.

 

. Working for myself my earnings are excellent ,as another poster said you have to make your own luck I did just that and it's worked me. I have never looked back. Getting into arb is the best thing that has ever happened to me .

That is mad cheap, non climbing groundie earns more for me, climbers a lot more.

 

I think if I had degree and that was all I could earn I would not be pleased to say the least, no need to be greedy, but people need to eat !
