Rick White delivered some great information! So much wisdom, coaching. Glad to know I may have some leverage when it comes time to discuss compensation at my job interview. The average age of a tech is 48-50 years old and for every 3 techs retiring 1 comes in!? Wow, back in 2021. $20/hr or $40k/yr is not a lot of money in January 2024 (yeah i know this is from 2021). I'd say $50k would be fair to start, considering the complexity of a modern vehicle and the skills necessary to repair them. I agree, the tools should belong to the shop as the business can deduct the expense in taxes. Something that would make me happy as an individual in my job/career would be a schedule that offers me the work/life balance I'm looking for.
