[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.
This is VERY good, considering the GM school is likely 24 mos long (same length as many ROP programs in CA) and a truck-driving school is 12-18 months long. They are likely FT schools where the student has to punch in and out every day, the same as they would with an employer.
Why don’t you watch the video, flu, instead of being so “skeptical.”
Next time you have a “typical” $1200 bill on your Bimmer at the shop, ask yourself how much they actually have to pay someone (who knows what they’re doing) to work on it.[/quote]
Um…more and more truck drivers are contractors.
And BMW stealership might charge $200/hr for labor, but most of it does not go to the individual mechanics. (Actually, the first 4 years of ownership, maintenance is free, so I don’t know what the billout to the factory is for scheduled maintenance)… Also, a lot more of the BMW cost isn’t just labor but also parts these days.
Typical oil change is around 150 bucks. Because you figure these days, 8 quarts of synthetic oil at lets say $8/pop + a $15 filter. Dealer isn’t charging $200/hr for an oil change. And most of it goes to the shop, not individual mechanics…
I agree with one point though…It’s a good time to OWN a mechanic shop.
