Well i was supposed to go to college when i left school but family problems interviened and so had to go into the big bad world and get earnin some money! To start with i was gutted because i thought im never gonna get trained up to be a tree surgeon but then i got took on by a small contracting company. Since day one there ive worked like a dog and if there was ever anything i dint understand then i asked! Im now there head climber and im now also lookin into goin to college. I personally think that alot of practical experience with people who know what there talking about will benefit you a hell of alot more than bein in a class room. Sayin that though i really want to learn alot more on the theory side. I do spend alot of my spare time reading books and of course theres arbtalk!! woo hoo!!
