Best place to start in tree surgery

[karl]

I would never expect to get anything like the same money when moving jobs - however I'd also like to think that age and 'life experience' is worth something?

 

This thread seems to suggest it's not a particularly well paid profession

In an ideal world.

If did make very good money but got to where I wanted to be with it and always need a challenge too plus sometimes a change and do something you enjoy and have a passion for comes to an end and farriers are not rich at all comes with emended hard work and very very long hours but the stress levels are stupid and that ruins the job in time. I did it from 15 years old and sometimes things need to change. More to the point money is not everything to me now.

Go for it mate, but have a plan B.

A climbers useful commercial lifespan is pretty short, and at 38 you're cutting it fine.

Most climbers making good coin after 40 are incredibly gifted or a pretty rare breed, often both.

The two trades you've done are pretty hard graft though, so that's a bonus, if your back and elbows are sound.

I like your stance about the money, but it matters to everyone else, which means it matters to you.
