Title: do you hate your job
Post by: 4S Cleaning on August 19, 2012, 05:15:21 pm
I was wondering, if any users hate window cleaning, I absolutely hate double glazing industry 25 years and I'm sick making others cash and getting a poor weekly wage. My youngest is 16 and is staying on at school but I fear when he does leave school
I want him to have something in case he struggles to get a job at least he can work with me
This is another reason for starting up.

Definitely don't hate window cleaning.
Definitely did hate the job I did for far too many years prior to starting window cleaning.

this was the reason i started 10 years ago and my lad left school on the 18th of june this year and is now working with me full time and we are both loving every min of it. just hope all go's to plan and if he wants it he can take over when i have had enough one day.

I was a welder in my last job and I loved it , I loved looking back and thinking I made that !!!!!

The jobs I was doing I was on a good wage and was happy .
Then I had a cardiac arrest last July and had to have an ICD fitted so that put an end to my welding career .

Since then I started up my window cleaning round and I love it !
I'm earning better money when I am working for less stress get to spend more time with the kids and the wife , what more could I ask for I love window cleaning and wish I had done this a long time ago .

 Good Luck to you, you survived a cardiac arrest, changed your career and are a lot happier for it all the best.

Just cleaned a interior which I under priced didnt realise they were heavy smokers. Bloody nightmare.
Then soaked in a heavy shower while on top of a garage roof near broke my neck getting down.
Home early ped off.
