I finished college on wed and started work monday. I have a associates in applied sciences and automotive technology. Now Im making............A WHOLE $11 AN HOUR!!!!! WHOOOOHOOOOO
Thats rediculous, the guys at my shop that graduated the year before me started at $12 and the guy they recently hired who has no certs, or ford training is making $18 and hour. So heres where I stand currently, Im going to tell my boss thanks for the raise but to keep me your going to have to give me atleast $13 an hour or Ill quit right here and now. I can continue on at school and get a batchelors in autimotive buisness from penn college $$$$$. Or I can try to get a job with the elevator union that my frinends dad works for and aprentice for $20 an hour, or I could get a job in another shop for more money which I really dont want to do as I HATE HATE HATE being a mechanic, I HATE waking up for work in the morning.
On a better note Im the first one in my family to have a college degree
Oh yeah and by no means is our shop slow everyone is there working until 5pm or later.
