So, I have a question. How does one get started in the business? My situation is odd. I'd never even thought about treework until a year and a half ago, when, while climbing a tree for fun, some guy engages me in conversation, and ends up offering me a job. So I did 6-8 months of work, climbing, pruning, some groundwork, for a 'fine tree care' guy. Basically felt like an apprenticeship. But all kinda under the table, no checks, no taxes, no WC and no real record of it ever having happened. All contact by phone, show up at the place, work, get paid, go home. Then he up and just disapeared.
I've done other things since, but the tree thing just got into me somehow, and I'd really love to jump back into the harness, but I'm not sure how one goes about it. Most jobs seem to want experience. I've sorta got experience, though most of the terminology on this site is way over my head. But I can climb, seriously climb. Any ideas?
