Advice for a young lad

[joe123]

Evening fellas, I'm a 17 year old arborist finishing college in June after studying forestry and arboriculture for 2 years and have been climbing for different firms now for about a year including my instructors. I consider myself to be a handy little climber, I have all my climbing kit, have t540xp and 560xp saws. I was just wondering if you guys could give me some advice on what I should do when I leave college??.

 

Any advice would be good

Speak to as many companies you can find. Askfor a trailnoffer to do it unpaid. Always led me into work.

An apprenticeship under a journeyman climber at very modest wages couldn't hurt much at your age.

 

You could be a journeyman climber at twenty or so!

Keep your head down and graft don't get to arrogant, it'll be tough and you'll think it's not worth doing for the wage but eventually (about 5-7 years) it'll all come together and people will start to ask you to to work for them for a decent wage
