being a tree surgeon is very hit and miss tbh i'm one and have a shed load of certificaes if i aint qulified to do it then its somet paper work like and if i can't do it then it aint doable i work my arse off but

if u work for someone else u get paid fook all unless u can get on as head of a tree department or similar BUT if u work for your self and have the motivation etc etc etc at my last job me and one other lad turned over £180,000 worth of work in a year don't have a clue wot percentage of that is str8 profit as i just take my wage and go home on a friday as i don't want the hassle of paper work but saying that i have just gone up by £3 an hour and am running the tree team for a local landscaping company and running 15 men at the moment

and i don't earn the £500 a week as said above BUT i live in huddersfield up north near leeds and not london as i have heard some very good stuff from round that way but don't like the idea of living there but abroad does sound good and u can pull in the eqvilant of a grand a week so may move there in the not so far of future
