Specialities are crazy niches and can be rare. Join Damp Sam and Dry Gav to discuss why you should become a specialist in your industry, what it means to be a specialist and why specialists demand respect.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Specialists get help from other specialists. Becoming a specialist is hard work, especially within a specific niche or industry.
Specialising is a safety net you can retreat to and one that you can go further and further into. You can always rely on those learned skills. The more specialist you become in your industry, the less competition there is and the more you can earn.
BEST MOMENTS
“The preservation industry is a specialist industry”
“There’s a lot of groups and forums available to specialists”
“I’ve gone from plasterer to waterproofer and then to damp proofer.”
“I started as a generalist but you can go straight into a specialism.”
“Education is a defined path but with an end, whereas when you’re working you can see what you might become.”
