If you looking for information 1st on how to spike a tree my advice would be to actually get a few years under your belt and not be a hack and actually know what you are doing before you can even but a dollar amount to your service.
 
do a search, should find plenty no how to bid. also do you have the experience, capital, and skills required to run this type of business? and this is probably the wrong forum for this thread.

oi. *rolling eyes, choking on coffee*

Might be an idea to learn to type, spell, use spellchecker, English, I hear this is handy stuff in college. As for the tree stuff, by the time you get out of school there won't be any left and according to my crystal balls money will be obsolete, it'll be all trade & barter, so by then you'll get, um, like lunch and a chance to marry the farmer's daughter.
:D :D

its hard

Hey bet,

you really would be better getting in with a firm, do your training get all the tickets you can and then take a job.

for some background, I have a degree in environmental management, and a masters in conservation management, I work half the week employed and half self employed, whilst i enjoy the self employed it is really really hard to break into without having reliable contacts and work. If your employed you dont have to worry about what your going to be doing next week or where the money is comeing from. most of my self-employed work comes of the back of me regular job. I must stress thought they dont compete as you wont hold onto your regular job if you start to take work away from that.

its not as easy as just being self employed. then there is the bigger issues if you want to buy a house, its :censored: hard to get a morgage when your self employed especially if you dont have regular contracts!

hope this helps

Just ribbin' ya as the answers you seek are already discussed at length in numerous posts. Go work for a while in a tree service, you may find its not your cup of tea anyway, then again it may make you want to hit the books again and seek some sort of arborist certs. ;)

degreeit like a phd do u mean

For example: If you would go to a 4 year college and get a degree, there is a chance it would be called a Bachelor of Science degree in... Could be business, liberal arts, nursing, horticulture, music, engineering, forestry, etc...
