If you earn $22 an hour and live in Massachusetts we're just going to assume you live on your mom's couch, correct?

I wondered as well, we pay north of $20 here in Kentucky.

...and he lives with his parents, 21yo.

It’s hard to truly determine the worth of a company’s employment by hourly rate alone. I’d have to know the full benefit package to truly determine what a job pays. Health care alone can double the hourly rate depending. However, that truly does seem like poverty wages.

douchebags

A good mechanic starts at a minimum 25/hr

Charge top dollar for a tm with overpriced parts and pay the staff bottom dollar without any option to negotiate based on experience.

Correct me if I’m wrong. But hire a high school graduate and teach them in house if you want to pay that low

I showed this ad to a friend in the industry, this was his reply.


My daughter and her Boyfriend live/rent in an old Boston suburb in a small old house. Radiator heat, old windows, clean but very dated. $3800 a month. Utilities are $600 a month, 5% state income tax 6.25% sales tax


Im not out to beat on Butler, the whole supplier side of industry does no pay mechanics a living wage.

If they did, we’d all bitch about the cost of their rigs and then go to Texas to buy our TMs.
