I currently work at a pipeline company as head draftsman making about 45k a year and I've got an associates degree in drafting/design technology. I hopped into the career when my girlfriend got pregnant to ensure stable work to provide for us as a family, what any man would do, right?
However, I sit in an office 50 hrs a week working on a computer using AutoCAD and if you're anything like me, this kind of work is not what I want to do the rest of my life.
Before I got my degree, I got a job 10$ an hr as ground worker for a small tree company that handled pretty tactical and dangerous removals. (where i got most my tree experience)
After a year working there I quit and started my own little company cutting with a truck and trailer. I ordered a whole bunch of cool stuff off baileys and ebay and watched lots of youtube how to's and what not and was doing very good for myself for a little bit with little effort. I was amazed at the success I was having and not to mention how fun it was being outdoors cutting trees.
Anyways, long story short, I'm gonna ween out of the white collar life and get back into the tree life with dreams of owning my own established tree care company some day.
Any advice on the business now can help me out in the long run and would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
