How long have you been a window cleaner

« **on:** March 03, 2009, 07:04:02 pm »

There is a lot of new window cleaners lately on this forum so was wondering how long most of the window cleaners on here have been window cleaners.

I have been cleaning windows i think is about 23 years.

Thats why im still a window cleaner as i have made myself unemployable in anything else.

Started out in 1992, after returning home from the FIRST Gulf War. I'm a chef by trade; learning to cook in the navy ( RFA ) but took up window cleaning after discovering that a civvie cook didn't earn as much as a navy cook. I love cooking but like earning a good living more
