PAID MECHANICS

Re: PAID MECHANICS
If your a great tech, you should make decent money. Bigger cities, more money. The pay is great if your quick and good at what you do since techs usually get paid on a flat rate(4 hour job and you get done in 3 hours you get paid the 4 hours) and not hourly. Starting wages around my area of wisconsin is at about 12-15 bucks an hour.

good luck. |

Re: PAID MECHANICS
I wouldnt pay for automotive school unless its a free ride. I learned everything I could myself without schooling. I'd try to get on a 1 year inhouse program at a dealership if anything. Those schools like wyotech/uti can be just a huge waste of money.

Re: PAID MECHANICS
I learned everything myself and I have mad trouble shootin skillz yo. Those schools are a joke most people who go I can do circles around. Real Life is where its at. Buy a couple beaters start fixin/sellin them and you'll learn fast. Good luck but if your thinkin your gonna come out with jeff Frank skillz thats a no.
