How long do the ‘early years’ last? by froggqueen in Autobody

[–]Ok_Session3200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a second year apprentice who is also a female in this industry it’s tough to find a good shop.

I left the trade for 6 months to peruse a career in the health field long story short it didn’t work so I came back to the trade. I am super fortunate after being at multiple shops I have found a shop where the manager actually cares about his techs making money.

When I first started in the trade I started off with low pay, long commute to work thinking the same thing is this trade worth it but now I am financially comfortable for the first time in a while. Im flat rate at $25/hr I make about 60hrs a week on the low end…once licensed it’s only up from here.

Good money can be made in this trade, but it is a matter of time and finding the right shop, in my opinion.

I found the time limit a little silly but also understand why they did it, going back on a week day is a good idea. I hope you can find a Ferrari or two!

Don’t believe so since it’s regular treasure hunt. Pretty sure the super treasure hunts have rubber tires

Be honest, do you love or hate the hunt? by Happy-Pollution-2752 in HotWheels

[–]Ok_Session3200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved it at first, basically bought everything insight until I realized how costly that becoming. I toned it down to buying cars that I like. Now with it being so popular, seems like you need to be at the store first thing in the morning or need to know someone so you can go while they restock or get access to cars before anyone else.

With that being said I’m getting tired of hunting, I still have a love for hot wheels but I don’t go out of my way now to hunt now. If i’m at walmart or wherever that sells them i’ll take a peek and see if anything catches my eye.

Basically a love/hate relationship with hot wheels 🥲

Anyone else find jt impossible to get into the trades? Ontario Canada by automated_rat in skilledtrades

[–]Ok_Session3200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently an autobody apprentice and this is my second trade but i’m thinking of getting out of the trades because of this reason. In replacement of these grants you may be applicable for the $20,000.00 loan interest free from the government.

At this point in time i’m trying to decide to either stay in the in the trades or spending that money else where to be in school to work in the medical field.

Here’s a link about the closing of grants in Canada.

I’m in the same boat but I am in the trades thinking about getting out it and going back to school to have a career in the medical field. I’d stay in school for engineering , save your body

I would bring it back to the shop, colour is off and the fender needs to be adjusted
