education and personal self-improvement are virtues ..... how true... they are indeed
but lets take it one step forward... Companies will happily take on staff with many of these skills, and when needs must, they will take on people with many less..... for example on pipelines or road schemes, when staff shortages were rife... do the ones with more skills but still employed as diggers or supervisors get paid more the more skills they have? OR the same as everyone else ??
Can we have a commitment (and perhaps VoR would like to start it) that field staff (and others) are on a scale of pay based on the number of skills they have .. their proven CPD skills will raise their prospects and their pay? perhaps I suffer from the old labour attitude of a fair days pay...
