Not so many months ago, a local WI Gordie Boucher dealer had billboard sign advertising start mechanic at $28 and up
In San Francisco, or San Jose, etc.
No way you can put a "median" on these jobs without physical location of where the job is.
My brother is a diesel mechanic and other speciaties related to repairing NYC transit buses. He’s 52 and a most valuable member of that team who works on the most challenging problems due to his skills. He’s worth every penny they pay him and then some whatever that amount is.
A few years ago when I was living in New York city, the leftist sewer hole of the east coast, they did a story on NYC school janitors that they average $11K a year and with overtime they were making close to $200k. One guy was made $280K in a year. For mopping floors and taking out garbage! LOL! Look at their city council, part time job and they make $150K a year and they do absolutely nothing except promote commie ideals and celebrate commie spies.

That was a typo, not $11K but $110k on average they make
I'm pretty sure I agree with you. Assuming we are talking SQL Server, C# programming, Server management, database system engineeing etc. Just off hand I would think these jobs are going to multiply like crazy and India will be there to fill the void if we don't.
Are we talking about the same thing?
“I’m shocked that either Women’s studies or Black studies isn’t in the group.”
I guess the Master’s degree in Transgendered Interpretive Dance may really have not have been worth the money after all....
No, you guys are still not talking the same thing. You are way off. I will let the other guy correct you.
Partially - add massive dose of statistics and R and Python and machine learning to the skills you mentioned and then we might be talking about the same thing.
Indian data scientist works for me actually.
Data science, also known as data-driven science, is an interdisciplinary field about scientific methods, processes, and systems to extract knowledge or insights from data in various forms, either structured or unstructured, similar to data mining.
But the good guys have to be good programmers don't they? This is cutting edge but in the end you are going to create the algorithms and implement them.
Is that closer?
yes, that is much closer. Data Science is more about Statistics and Machine Learning and Predictive Modeling than about software maintenance.
But it is great argument for student loan forgiveness?!???
True.
Interesting to me a bit, as I evaluated Tableau for adoption when it was new. Very slick. Beats charting things with Excel.
I was also a “product manager” and no, that is no entry job, it is actual management, with supervision of employees/contractors.
Here is the link to a June 2017 NYP article about "Custodian Engineers" in New York. Cleaning UP
Janitors making more than 2x the highest paid teachers, and much more than the highest paid Principal. Interesting. I guess they are getting a "living wage".
there was like a * there...
*if you work your ass off at 200% efficiency at 14 dollars per flat rate hour. or 150% efficiency at 17.50
I have seen shops do that here..
1 200% is almost impossible to do.
2 no shop I have seen is busy enough to have enough for work superman to turn 200%
maybe things have turned around lately, IDK I am very happy doing what i am doing now. No service adviser asking is it done yet? no customers calling every minute of the day, no waiting for approvals, no approving half the job, no complaining when the half a job repair does not fix everything..
I own the car, I approve the work and I sell it when I am done. It’s working *very* well for me.
“But it is great argument for student loan forgiveness?!???”
Somewhere out there is a federal or state grant program for aspiring, but broke, drag queens.
Some of the dealer techs do pretty good but it depends on the service writer. If he/she gives you all warranty work, you’re screwed. That whole flat rate thing will get you too, especially if you’re working at a non dealer shop. Almost impossible to hit the mark on those times until you’ve done the same repair procedure a few times(and have all the best equipment and special tools).
Diagnostics pays pretty good but they’ve used it to break down the field into smaller roles. Once diagnosed, a mechanically inclined illegal alien can do the parts swap.
You are correct:
Tax Dollars Are Paying for Drag Queens to Read Stories to Children
I’m confused:
How does an ‘ENTRY LEVEL job equal 3 years experience?
Where did they get 3 years experience?
THAT job would have been the ‘entry level job’, IMO.
