hi i am a student at sparsholt college doing the nc arb and going to do the nd arb dose any 1 have a rought guess how much i would be on per day with those qulafacations ?

[John Shutler]

qaulifications are good, but wont buy you worksite experience, and unfortunately without that, better money. what it will give you though is a good solid base to begin your journey into this industry.

 

what im trying to say is, dont go out expecting to earn mega bucks because its not going to happen, but with a willingness to learn and a good attitude it wil get better

too many variables to give a real answer. part of the country, company etc

if you are just starting out then you won't become a number 1 climber earning 150 a day. anything between 50 and 100 i'd say is accurate

if you go out looking for big wages at first then you will be disapointed, take what you can get from who ever you can learn from there is guys on this forum that i would happily drive to the other end of the country just to get some knowledge from. but to answer your question, 50quid a day if you work hard sounds about right. if you want to be a professional drag rat then you will earn a lot more, but if you are hoping to get taught and be given the oppertunity to learn and have a go on trees then you will be costing the employer money. so i would get a balance. find your local small firm and work every hour you can for as little as you can, make yourself easy to employ and pay, dont be taken for a ride by a slave driver though, life is all about facing challenges and coming out on top. good luck and welcome to the forum

£50-60, maybe 70 untill you've proved yourself

 

those qualifications mean naff all at the moment, experience is much more valuable

 

to put what i said into context, stephen hawking could pass a nd arb with ease, but do you reckon he could drag brash/climb???

Sparsholt students have a good reputation so you should get a job when you finish. Dont worry to much about what your getting paid and go for the job that is going to give you the best experiences. You should gain some good onsite experience during your placement in the second year. Best of luck with it.
