Ok,
I think it depends on the type of work you do Mick, and to be honest at times it IS rocket science, but like I say it depends on what type of work your doing
i always end up in a disagreeing thread lol but what is so hard when showing somebody to clean a window?? I have showed and trained loads of people and never has it been anything other than simplicity unless its a right numpty who doesnt listen to basic instructions.
It gets harder as you progress into a full business and start employing granted but this is about an apprentice wc lol. I understand apprentice electrician/plumber/carpenter etc but there realy isnt much involved in cleaning a paine of glass, i mean is there such thing as an appretaship in cleaning glass?? A trainee wc maybe.
Do you honestly think a 16 year old who has his whole life ahead of him would think"i know im gonna do a window cleaning apprentaship to become a window cleaner".
It wouldnt happen for 1 teachers warn kids that if they choose the wrong doors to enter in early life they will end up a window cleaner! In fact a few teachers said that to me that if i didnt buck my ideas up id end up being a window cleaner when im older!!! and how right they were lol, at the time it hurt my feelings the thought of being a loser wc which is how youngsters look at the job however now id have it no other way and am proud to be one and respect window cleaners but still believe its one of the easiest jobs i have ever done.
