I've been in the tree game since 1988, as usual started draggin branches for the local guy for some $. Always had two jobs and have been a firefighter and paramedic for the past 15yrs. Love both jobs as they are very different but also crossover in alot of ways.
I guess you'd call trees my "1st job" as its that way on the tax records, brings in more money and takes up alot more time.
I work anywhere from 4-6 days/week on trees and rostered days/nights with the firies.
I employ an arborist as I have enrolled twice to do my cert III, but just get tooo busy and let it go.
This site has enspired me to once again enroll in 2008.......God help them!!!
