[quote=bearishgurl][quote=flu]don’t believe everything what the MSM posts about $100k jobs…[/quote]

Oh, I don’t think these jobs pay $100K straight out of school. But I believe many of them pay $55-80K straight out of school WITH full benefits and generous leave pkgs. And I believe a new hire can work their way up to a $100K annual salary in 3-5 yrs if they are truly motivated and know their stuff.

About five years ago, my local mini-newspaper run a story about local high school students visiting people working in the trades. They visited the BMW stealership, where they met master technicians earning $80K a year. So, I tend to agree with BG.
