Hi all,
I am thinking of beginning a mechanic apprenticeship later this year or early next year.
I already have some mechanical knowledge, and work on my car whenever I get the chance to.
Can anyone who is either a mechanic or understands quite a bit about the industry chime in about the following please?:
Is the wage good enough to be able to live decently in 2023- onwards (think cost of living, etc)? Working as an employee
Are mechanics in Australia paid hourly or flat rate like in the US?
What sort of money would I need to spend to build my tool collection?
Why isn’t the wage higher compared to some other trades, despite being a shortage of mechanics in Australia and especially America?
Cheers
