A local domestic dealership has offered me a job,
but I think it may be low balling me. So would you take this job?
$19 per hour striaght time not flat rate. European cars only.
My states min wage will be $9.04 in January.
I’m only about half way equiped for euro’s so a good amount of tool investment will be required, namely scanners.
Do you guys think this is a resonable amount of money or would You ask for more?
My first thought was $25 per hour just because euro’s in general just piss me off wile working on them.

Because you will be making more money and get more experience in European cars by taking the job. you could try asking for more money. but down where I live 19/hr is a pretty good wage especially in this economy but our minimum wage is only 7.30/hr. but I have no idea how much a technician at a dealership like that is supposed to make. You also have to think about whether you
