Default Re: Psychos in the Auto-Repair Business

After reading the post about the overheads owning a mechanic workshop, I understand why there's a shortage. Add in Gen Y / Z who seen to be still falling for the "I need a university degree for a career" that's no wonder there's a trade shortage!!

Plumbers. They do charge extortion type prices. Yeah I know that they have overheads and tools.... But how many experienced plumbers live in a 2 bedroom unit driving a ute that's okay than 5 years lol.

Sprinkler fitters do really well. Friends son is 26 and has 2 properties nearly paid off and he's building his first masion now.

BIL drives tankers. $140k plus. Horrible hours though.
