I'm a Communications systems engineer, and hate it!
I really want to be a tree surgeon, but at 36 i have been advised against it, as its a young persons game!
I also want to run a wildlife watching business in the Torridon/Gairloch area.

deep river - generally it is due to the flexibility and physicl demands, also helps to be short. However, have worked with one climber nearer 60 than 50 who was 6'6", so not your typical climber. If you're fairly fit you should be able to keep up. Older surgeons seem to be more considerate of the trees too.
I work as a forester, taking them down at the ankles and dropping a lot more in a day than a surgeon would. Also pretty active with a lot more big toys than a tree surgeon. Love it.

Mulletus Maximus - What sort of Design Engineering do you do / who do you work for?
I do similar, with 'Product' sometimes in front of Design, bit disillusioned with it, so am currently studying an MA in Design part time to learn how to be creative again and to hopefully find a more 'positive' way of working.Posted 1 year ago # -
I'm a glorified freelance journalist. Need to make up a grander job title, how about digital media content consultant?

Mechanical Design Engineer in a small-but-growing renewable energy related company. Get to do the design / engineering in between the management/team leader stuff, probably adds up to 1.5 jobs. Enjoying the hands-on problem solving and interesting work more than some of my colleagues!
