That's good. Lets you learn and still make a check.

Are some of the other guys FR? If so, try to get an idea of what jobs pay. This way you will track it's pay vs. what it takes you to do it, and be able to judge when it's time to start flagging jobs.

did that throguh college (wyotech) unemployemtn + gi bilL pre 911 helpd alot

right now im waitng on the VA to get my stuff sorted out can crossed over to 911 gi bill that way 80% of my college bills will be wiped out.

but they are back logged soem 4 months

I heard about that. They also have a program for "emergency" as well as "pre-pay" that I think you would qualify.

As far as being 4months back-logged, I am still waiting for my involuntary 7month stop-loss payment.

Sounds like it will be a good place to work. Smart of the owner to reward you for trying to stay ahead of the hours.

When I was working with the dealers I would average 125-140. This was with a large load of warranty work, it probably pays about 60% of what Mitchell quotes.. My best was over 170.


Good luck!
