[QUOTE="Faceplanted, post: 2886752, member: 56697"] Automotive is another terrible industry to get Into. The pay is crap, you need to spend tons in tools to even get a job. We have some of the automotive schools around where I live and maybe th market is over saturated but I don't Think 14hr is acceptable. I have 2 very close friends who have been in the field for almost 10 years and live poor. Only way to make money now in the car game is either working as a fabricator (roll cages, custom manifolds ect) or as a world class stand alone engine managment tuner. The fabricators usually start of as welders and the tuners are usually self taught. I hope your going to a local tech school and not one of these private Wyoming tech type schools because they are huge scams. 20-40k and the guys that come out are clueless to real world mechanics and problem solving. Their job placement programs consist of changing oil at jiffy lube. Should have chose diesel tech. That's where the money is. Lots of places locally starting off in the mid 20s an hour. I know a few who are around 30hr after a few years. [/QUOTE]
