Eventualy I hope to retire or at least take up a positistion in a job that interests me after I am finished in the north sea
But I won`t do it for monkeys wages,, this is an insult for what is a skilled job after all

Sorry to **** on your camp fire, but these are the wages for this industry they are far from a insult ,if like myself had been brought up with in the industry, you would know the why's and wherefores of the Gamekeeping world, it has never been paid well, most of the people with the industry do it more for the love of just carrying out a job that most would give there eye teeth for.
These are jobs you've got to start at a early stage in life, not after a life working in another industry ,there are still estates in Scotland, that are still only working with ponies, no mechinised transport on the hill due to various things sssi etc. There are very few that could saddle a pony never mind take one to the hill a thing of the past which is a sad truth .
The jobs are fairly well paid ,if you can find something to spend £20,000 on 10 miles up a Glen you'll be doing well, remember most houses are free, as is the vehicle, and your coal and council tax, shotguns and rifles, ammunition now all that said and done, when you calculate all that up is approximate £30,000 plus for, your annual wage, well in line with a job in the city ,it is the hidden benefits, that are in the jobs that count, a lot of the Stalkers, Gamekeepers have a few Cattle and Sheep which produces a further income.
The job in question is well paid for what your doing, it comes up every year at this time ,it will give someone excellent experience and knowledge that would other wise take years to collect ,money isn't every thing ,many may say different , it is more or less putting money in the bank unless you've got a drink problem .
