I applied for one of these jobs when I was a woodland officer. It was to be a demotion but the money that I would save taking a vehicle home, not needing to pay for dog food or vets bills, rifles or shooting equipment (or shooting) made it an equivalent wage. It also would have given me free time (not spending it on shooting as a hobby) which I planned to spend being a forestry consultant. I would have been far better off but I didn’t get the job. They said I wasn’t experienced enough but I personally think they weren’t experienced enough as interviewers! I’m not bitter. I promise.

Great job I would say. After I didn’t get that job, I got two promotions as a forester instead. Now I couldn’t take the wage hit to go back which kinda disappoints me.
I’m sure whomever gets the job will love it.

well i am not employable as a guy in his mid fifties who has spent most his working life from his teens Self- employed , so i dont even apply as i know by now i dont work well for others. But folks get all messed up about gross not net and forget all about tax bands and what some folks get for free
In the UK your best off being really rich or below the as an employee is it about 40k ? my wife is the accountant . Until tax bands change and the world spins backwards I dont really care . Wait till your off to a nursing home and they raid your savings yet leave the other guy alone
 
Both my parents parents bought forestry houses. Decent sized houses for next to nothing.

I bought the house i'm in on FC, althou on the open market but still at a cheap price as they had let the planning lapse ( needed complete renovation, new roof job)
Bonkers really

For having offices full of paper shufflers amazing how poor they can be at paperwork :cuckoo:

Wait long enough for them to realise the mistake and offer you a few million to buy it back! (Money grows on trees anyway!) :rofl:
 
YIf you don't want a pay cut, don't apply for the job, unless it really means a lot to you to do it. Simples.
I'm speaking as someone who made a lifestyle choice when I was very young. I've never earned anything like the amount stated in that job advert (I'm 50 now), but I've thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of what I do. Had I made a choice based on income I would probably be in a very different place now, and not half so happy. Every business decision I've ever made has been based on how much enjoyment I'll get out of doing something, not how much money it'll make me.
I'm sure there are plenty of other hard-working folk out there with a similar mindset who'd love that job, regardless of the wage.
That’s fine when you’re fifty, report back to us when you’re past retiring age. Ps. I’ll be stalking celestially then!
