Sean’s Answer

I am an climbing arborist outside of my normal 9-5. I love the fact that I get to work outside and help people understand how to care properly for their trees. I typically climb the trees to remove, prune, or assess the risk. It is a rewarding job that pays well, but can be very dangerous. If interested in this type of work a degree in forestry is a great start while looking to work as a ground crew for a local tree service. Safety is key and if that is not at the front of the line for the company, I would find another one. There are some great vids on you tube of this type of work. type in arborist and you will find many. August Hunicke and Blair Glenn are one of my favorites and often they discuss what that life is like. Best wishes.

Their duties can include planting, trimming and removing trees, making sure they don’t pose a hazard to roads or power lines.

What you’d make: $18.30 per hour
  2. Botanist- What you’d do: In the world of plants, botanists are a combination of doctors, researchers and protectors.

  4. Landscape architect- What you'd do: Landscape architects design gardens, lawns and other green spaces to meet the needs of the client and match the constraints of the space and climate. It’s physically demanding at times, so you need to have the stamina to see the work through.
