I work with many people that are early 20’s that own a SFH or even a duplex or triplex. Get into the trades, there is a big demand. But not everybody can hack it. It is hard on your body.
The average mechanic salary is $65k. Please tell me how you managed to afford to buy a condo, and then even a house with a $10k+ refrigerator on this salary?
LOL 65k. Any decent flat rate tech is making double that. Was offered a job in Cali that would have paid me triple that, but then I would have to live in the US.
All those mechanic job ads for 50k-75k must be fake then.
Perhaps you are that 1% of mechanics that earn over 100k. But how does being in the 1% minority reflect the reality? It doesn’t. I’m happy you have a good life as a mechanic, but it’s not reflective of the current job market and salaries. You are an outlier.
You borderline sound like those billionaires saying “If I could do it so can you”.
All the decent flat rate techs I know make that much. Some much more. I don’t know anyone who has had to apply for a proper job through a job posting. It’s all through word of mouth. I have never had to “apply” for a job. All those listings must be for pretty shitty jobs, especially if they have a “salary”. Means they have hardly enough work for their techs. Any good shop will pay flat rate. So you can get paid 20-30 hours in an 8 hour shift. My best day was 36 hours in an 8 hour shift. And I make $41/hr.

Of course. Next you’re gonna tell me they are normal working class people?
Do you consider mechanics as working class? Probably can’t get much more working class than that.

Never apply to a shop that posts ads, it’s guaranteed to be a shitty workplace.
There’s a reason they have ads up lmao.
A decent tech could flip his boss off and not even be halfway through packing his and have 2 job offers lined up.

I believe that that’s how much you make. I don’t believe the majority make that much. And we can’t all be mechanics.
Damn not even hiding how rich you are. Actually pathetic.
