It is a job any moron can do though.
Let's be honest.

Almost true.

Trust me, I've employed people who were incapable. Its rare but they do exist.

I had one too, he was a moron that was incapable of  acceptable customer interaction,  unable to quality assess his work,  had no idea what company image was all about.

If you can't make it as a window cleaner though let's face it you're pretty much a bottom dweller.

You say that, but I've made an effort to make sure the people that work for me are good on the interpersonal side. One was a postman and both formerly personal trainers.likely going to be poaching another postie. I pay more and offer more sociable hours.

Yes, so they were able to be window cleaners but some people whatever you do in the way of encouragement, training, compromise etc just can't make it. Those that aren't able to be responsible for themselves. Some people think the world owes them a living. Can you believe that?

My dad was a window cleaner. And his dad before him. I was given a hard time at school over it. When I started recently my mum was appalled as I have a degree. She's staggered though at the possibilities now and the financial freedom I already have.

The green eyed monster.  I get it though. It must hurt seeing other window cleaners doing well and to know that you even failed at window cleaning.  :D

I don't see any green eyed monsters?

I also doubt anybody truly "loves" window cleaning.

well im guessing those teachers didnt consider that wfp would be invented and be able to double there salary with ease for less hours and zero training :-),
How very short sighted of those teachers.
That should have been part of every teacher's training.

If people are thick with no ambitions in life then all there is left is to buy a bucket and ladder surely?
That's until a real job opportunity comes along like stick waggling maybe?   ;D ;D

I took a call from a chap and a couple of days ago which turned out wanted a one-off clean for a 5 storey commercial building in the centre of town. Hmmm...I thought I know just the man that's if he has sticks long enough for that job so I said give my mate lance a call as he loves stick waggling at height.   ;D ;D
