To be honest, window cleaning as a job, is only that, a job if thats how you want it to be.
Or it can be a business, and you can make it into a good profitable business if thats how you want it to be.
The sky is the limit really, depends how much you want it, how much you want to earn and how far you want to take it.
When people say its a means to an end, thats true. We all end up retiring at some point.
You tell me where there is a career where you can earn well in excess of 50k a year with little or no qualification, no silly jumped up bosses or people telling you what to do.
I have a few contracts where i have to clean office windows inside and out, i tell ya to see those people sittin there in front of a computer all day, doing naff all but answering the telephone, or doing some task their boss asked them, or having to put in overtime with no extra pay, and always wondering if they are going to keep their job next year, they dont look happy do they?
Some have unrealistic opinions of themselves, perhaps looking at me and thinking id hate to clean windows as a job, what a demeaning task to do. Of course im the one laughing really, if only they knew that in one day i can make probably more than they can in a week, why go to the trouble of degrees and a levels for a liftime of debt paying back a student loan with a measly 25k a year to live on?
Some people put to and two togther an realise you can pull in a lot of £ doing this job, but they dont have the guts to do it themselves, and would rather justifiy the time they wasyed at uni getting drunk for a qualification by sticking with their nine till five.
