This is an ideal career for analytical thinkers. As a wool classer you classify wool into different categories ready for sale at markets to attract maximum competition at sale time. You classify the wool according to its various characteristics such as, colour, length, strength and quality.

Environment and Culture of the workplace

Usually a male dominated industry although many females are entering of late. You work mainly indoors, within the shearing sheds or wool handling centres, and you will find yourself standing for long periods of time. As a shearing shed woolclasser much time may be spent travelling to properties during the shearing season.
