    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”.

      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.

      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.
