Forestry/arborist jobs - how easy are they to get? I'm looking to get an entry level job at Timberlands or Pan Pac when Im finished school. Does anyone have any experience with these companies?

Curious to hear from those working in the field, what’s the most important skill to have in trades or services work? Is it problem-solving? Time management? Communication with clients? Would love to know what’s actually helped you on the job (not just what people say in training).

I’ve been working in a few different trades since I left school and honest to god feel overworked in every job I’ve had, like working 50 or 60 hours a week including weekends sometimes. Is this just life as a tradie or am I just picking the wrong companies? What are my options for staying in the trades but working less hours?
