You’ve just graduated tech school and you’re hunting for that first technician job. With the technician shortage as bad as it’s ever been, and with 40% of entry level technicians leaving the industry within the first 2 years of their careers. You’re more valuable than ever. With such a wide variety of opportunities to choose from, how do you know which job is the best to chose? Some companies, regardless of wether they are a small or large dealer group, repair shop chain, or independent repair facilities are going to be able to pay more than others. Before you accept the position that offers the highest salary. I’d highly recommend you discuss what the company is going to invest in you with training. This is very much related to popular term and discussion point “career path”. Your first few years in this industry are going to be absolutely crucial for growth. It’s important that you develop good habits early as they will set you up for success in your career long term. You may also have the chance to learn some very valuable technical skills from top notch technicians. As ridiculous as it may sound, you might find much more growth in one position that pays less than others. Think of this as a long term investment in your career. While it’s the responsibility of an employer to set a career path for you upon accepting a new position. The responsibility to choose the correct employer to set that career path up is in your hands. In 2007 I got my first job ever at a tire and alignment shop at 17 years old for a whopping $7.50 an hour just as the Great Recession got underway. I had an offer to work for a grocery store for slightly more money. But I decided to sweat bullets in that shop that summer for pennies. I can say looking back now, that choosing that position over the store was well worth it now as it set me up for legitimate work experience at a much earlier age than average.
