Cleaners and domestics includes us.

[paul alan]

In a way!

Journalist at 30K is rubbish.

I like Homer's job though in Springfield Nukular Lektric Co.

Read all 10 and the ask yourself why some moan about cleaning windows and the easier life it gives you.

[dazmond]

take a good look around  at other window cleaners in your area.are they making money?some do really well but theres a hell of a lot that find it a struggle to make a half decent living at window cleaning(i know i struggled for years before hitting the big time).

[NWH]

The best way imo is to improve is to always look to gain better work commercial or domestic,i have known lots of them say I've got enough I'm turning it away. It's always worth looking at a job you never know what might come if that 1 job.

Premature ageing, cataracts, joint pains, neck pains, freezing your stones off in the winter, soaked to the bones in the summer, zero prestige, compared to begging, mind numbingly boring repetitive work, a job even the tightest of people would pay for
rather than do it themselves.
Your right what's to complain about. lol.

It's not a job though. We're self employed so can't be on the list.

zero prestige lol I couldn't give a toss about that there is zero prestige in getting on the train everyday and getting home at 7-30,at the end of the day I just worry about the people in my life. Say to yourself if you've ever had a problem once they've known have they knocked on your door offering help,most people would say no they haven't. 99.9% of
People think about thereselves and what they've got the fact you can Bragg coz you wear a suit won't pay a single bill.

[paul alan]

It's sad enough working for someone else and hating every minute of it, but being employed by self and choosing your own work then hating that is beyond me.
It's like "self harming " in the mental!
Crackers!

[Stoots]

One area where we have them beat (that goes for any employee job) is we can choose how hard we work and how much we earn.

Worlds your oyster with your own business no matter what it is.

If you are employed and you want to earn more money you have to ask the boss! would get me back in a "job" for any money (within reason perhaps)

[dazmond]

i dont care what any of you say.i think its the best job in the world (for me).i couldnt hack working full time for someone else again.i feel truly blessed for being able to clean the work i have now and the money i earn from it with hours to suit.

poor seank(dry clean) id hate to have that attitude again towards my business and window cleaning in general(hopefully itll never come back).

window cleaning has made me a financially stable contented man in the work area of my life for sure.

I agree, if you don't enjoy it why do it? I wouldn't say I love waking up and going to work but I don't hate it, at least not as much as i did working in a factory 8 years ago for £8 an hour.

[Stoots]

Let's not be daft, it's not the best job in the world.

But is good overll, some days it's great other days it's a bit meh but sure beats a lot of jobs.

Daz. all I did was point out some of the negatives of the job because at the end of the day there's no point in painting over a turd, that doesn't mean I'm sitting here dreading Monday.
Window cleaning suits my needs at this moment in time and if there comes a time when I can no longer stand it Ill just do something else.

[Mick Kent]

Its a crap job, we only do it as there is nothing much else us dimwits can do.
Luckily if done correctly you can earn well out of it but all we really do is clean poo off of glass for a living, no different to sweeping floors or litter picking or even poo picking as a business we could have chose.
If we could do bigger and better things then we sure would be doing it.

[NWH]

It fits in with me and what I want to do not the other way around how many people can say that about there job,I get really depressed when sometimes I've earned someone's weekly wage by 1 o'clock,throwing yourself off a bridge stuff that I'd much rather earn 20-30k a year wear a suit  and get a bit of respect eh.

I wonder why you need to brag about what you earn ? maybe its to make up for the fact that you get little or no respect for what you do and don't wear a suit to work.

There are a few on here who struggle with just being "a window cleaner".

Best job in the world...? Are you on drugs? 3 reasons why you think that.

1: Thick

3: Thick

I have been clean and sober for over 5 years and I've got a degree in English Literature and Philosophy. I'm 54 tomorrow and I've been window cleaning about 5 years but I no longer dread Mondays, I get more job satisfaction from a beautifully cleaned conservatory than a £250,000 deal in IT sales and I've never been so financially comfortable (partly through 5 years of sobriety admittedly).

[Perfect Windows]

I only have the other jobs I've done to compare but this is the best job I've had out of them all.  I now work because I enjoy it rather than because I feel I have to.

He's not a troll he's got good work also,if you get depressed at this job your a grass is greener type person or have badly priced work,I look at that list and it's enough to keep me motivated.

you ve obviously not worked 60 hour weeks on a plant nursery then (or the same hours landscape gardening getting covered in mud!)for a pittance.

it IS the best job in the world according to me.

[nathankaye]

Its a good job to be self employed at.
Minimal expense to start up, pending if starting traditional first.  Work outdoors n meet various types of people. Work your own hours and relatively stress free (depending size of your operations).
You dictate your own prices and thus earnings and bang loads of expenses through (legally) your taxes 😆

Its a great job, especially if you started up many years ago to establish yourself in the market. As I for one would not like to be starting up now

[markymark]

This is perceived as an easy job that anyone could start up with very small outlay, just perseverance and a couple of friends or relatives as customers. A bit of time and physical work later and you have yourself a self-starter business. The trick comes with the ability to endure, the foresight to try and maximise your work  and output and not getting caught peeing in your customers grids.
If you want or need to be a captain of industry, then you probably could. Just keep buying rounds, refining work, employing decent staff and hey presto! You're a small business owner and might stand a chance of getting on the committee of your local golf club.
Or you could just work smart, enjoy meeting people and be happy in your own skin earning what you choose to earn. Horses for courses (apologies for the cliché).
