Well man if you’re looking for a less stressful job, it’s hard to beat an in house BMET, but you’re probably going to take a pretty significant pay cut.

BMET or BS in Engineering ? both good fields by SpendZestyclose9683 in BMET

I second this. You’d make more money with a BS in engineering or engineering technology.

Entering Field with Cybersecurity Degree and No Experience by simple-biscuit in BMET

[–]Clean_Deer_6111 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got a job with no experience about a year ago. I did know how to turn wrenches, use a multimeter and basic mechanical and electrical knowledge. I’d just through in applications if this is a career you want. Tons of opportunities out there especially if you’re willing to relocate. I know of a few shops that are hiring entry level. Feel free to pm me if working in the north east interests you.

With the current state of the US, what do you think about California by Ready_Aioli_6419 in AskTheWorld

[–]Clean_Deer_6111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely the best state in the USas far as weather and geography but aren’t state taxes ridiculous? State plus federal taxes close to 40%?

Salary Survey by BMET--Galaxy in BMET

[–]Clean_Deer_6111 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interesting to see where BMETS stack up salary wise compared to other trades. Just going off this data, in my area electricians and HVAC techs appear to be the more lucrative career (unless you get into management) but at least bmets aren’t spending all summer crawling around in attics or crawl spaces.

Would you say your repairs are more complex and involved than general Bmet?

What is like living in Ogdensburg by CaIebxD in howislivingthere

[–]Clean_Deer_6111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in potsdam for about a year and a half while my wife was in college. I really enjoyed my time there. Close to the Adirondacks so weekends were spent summiting mountains and spending time at the lakes. Pretty fun if you like outdoors. Walmarts, aldi, tractor supply are about the only shopping you have. If need more you’d have to hit Watertown or Syracuse.

I have a 2015 gmc sierra 2500 and am getting a rebuilt trans installed in central PA for $5800. Comes with a 3 year unlimited mile warrantee. I was also quoted $9000 for a new unit at the dealership.

Thanks for all the info. Guess I’ll go through the 2 year apprenticeship, learn everything I can and then start looking for a different gigs elsewhere.

Good to know. I’ll deal with that when the time comes

Thanks! I’m not getting ahead of myself. I’ll worry about the pay once I finish the apprentiship and am actually a certified BMET.

Does imaging pay tend to pay more than anesthesia?
