what about casual/day labor, <$600/year?

Oh, yeah, that might work.

People wanting to learn; that's not so incredible. I've had several newbs offer to work for free over the years but I always give them over min. wage. If they can't earn that, they may be a liability.

Wise man.

Not for nothing but a year ago I suckered The Plas into taking down this pine for 200 bucks. He paid me!

I don't mean to speak for The Plas and I am only joking about the sucker part. I spent ALL day with the man and was actually quite tired at the end. He is by all means NOT interested in going to work for some slapstick company making low wages dragging brush for the wrong people. Nor is he going to take time off his great job to go to a 4 week class somewhere in east jabip. So what does that leave?
Well life is a carnival and it takes all kinds. The important thing is to find what one seeks and to Plas it was important enough to start with forking over 200 for my time and experiance. Since then I am pretty sure he has made it back... and respent it on more gear.
So you see the request made by the OP is not so much the joke one might think.

By the way the tree belonged to my neighbor, it was uprooting in the wind. He is the one who got the freebie and it was the perfect nice tame and little tree for which to check out The Plas on.

I liked how the root plate on that tree was coming up. We gave 'er a good butt shake to test the root system though. Yep, best $200 I spent on this business thus far.
