"As an automotive mechanic, I’d really like it if people didn’t try to lowball me on literally everything and accuse me of being a swindler with zero proof. In my experience most actual scumbag mechanics are actually very charismatic and friendly and lull people into a false sense of trust. Mechanics get all sorts of accusations hurled their way and there is rarely any actual basis for it since the average customer can’t tell good work from bad.
I worked at a dealership where the parts markup was less than 10% and we undercharged customers constantly. We were still accused of being scalpers, or at least too expensive for no reason, with the usual reasoning being that our officially licensed dealership was not as cheap as a private shop ran by a 27-year-old guy who opened it after apprenticing for 3 years and dealt in stolen parts."
i worked with scientists and engineers.
no white lab coats, sneakers and jeans was what we wore, all the scientists were crazy................best job i ever had
it's the programming, teacher dont get paid like pro athletes!!! its unfair!! think of the children!! in my state they are extremely well paid. most can retire at 55, they are on the top 10% of income. they are contractually guaranteed raises from their union of 5% or more. Even during covid. i did taxes one year and a 2 teacher family set up IRAs for their kids. they'll never HAVE to work
you sir, are a liar. What state was this? Total BS. Raises are not guaranteed and are controlled by state legislatures and the local tax base, with most raises being 2% or less per year. The are definitely not in the top 10% of salaries. Most teachers start out now at 30K or less a year, with benefits being taken away yearly. My wife and sister are/were both teachers in different states and both are making less now than some starting wages for their kids coming out of college or tech school. Stop trying to push an agenda because you underachieved in life. Facts man... facts.
