It is a simple and pretty well established fact that there are a lot more jobs available for mechanics, technicians, and every other assorted automotive service worker than there are people to fill them. Because of that there are a LOT of job postings, but often times there are a lot of reasons why they have so many openings. This gets compounded when we are talking about job postings at indy’s, because you’re going to be working on EVERYTHING. With that being said, even if you like you job you should ALWAYS be looking for a better one- because we are in very short supply and the demand is very high. Yet, somehow, no one talks about the elephant in the room- what they are going to pay you.
Also Uncle Jimmy talks about accidentally setting up a co-worker with a competitor that has an almost perfect pay scale for their factory trained technicians and gives a mechanics view on the breakdown of “cost of living”.
