Time is something you never get back. You actually did something productive, even if only you got your feet wet in the business (any business). A lot of younger folk don't work hard or learn a practical skill until after school (high school or college) and they don't know what the workplace is all about. Since you are getting exposed to the career path even before enrolling at VT, you are that much ahead in "the game." You may even learn that you don't like what you thought would be enjoyable, but even with that, you're still ahead of the rest of them. Good on you!
i must be crazy too you sound just like me. very few of us at 17 today that want to work in the forstry industry. when i tell people how much i make from just selling firewood on the side they are stunded.
best of luck for you and your intrest in forestry and chainsaws
Well I got 10 years on ya and have the same interests, some say I'm not normal.
I can't help but picture Barney walking into Moe's and asking if he drinks too much.
Now what exactly have I done to you for you to talk about me like that?
who says that ?
A friend that I went to school w/ got in a pissing match with a teacher jsut before graduation...The teacher told him he would never make anything of himself but a ditch digger...Wouldn't you know it he owns one of the most sucessful excavating companys in the area...I would truly guess his net worth is 10+ times the teachers...He is just a good old boy that is not afraid to WORK...And from what I have seen or read neither are you...
So, I am a senior in high school and plan to go to Virgina Tech after a year of community college. There I plan on getting a degree in industrial forestry opperations.
Today I came back to school after a week of spring break and everyone asked me what i did. I proceeded to tell them I modded my chain saw, cut a few trees down, sharpened some chains, and bidded on a tree removal/climbing job.
They just look at me and laugh. Untill I tell them how much i priced out the climbing job. haha
There is NO one my age that is even remotely intrested in this kind of stuff.
Am I crazy??
They just look at me and laugh.
