And a link to a chart with average salaries for various auto mechanic positions:

http://www.indeed.com/salary/Automotive-Technician.html

Highest salary was $68,000 for a auto light truck mechanic and lowest was $24,000 for a Tires Plus Automotive technician. Overall average salary was $37,000.

So yeah, "fat chance" seems like a pretty accurate summary.

I have no idea where they came up with that figure. It sounded pretty high to me but I figured that the author knew what he was talking about since he had to do research for the story.

in the article, the writer specifically mentions figures of 42k and 55k, but says more could be possible with additional training. not sure who wrote the headline.

They probably figured that more people would read it if it said $100k. I have actually read that some garbage collectors (sanitation workers) in New York make $100,000 a year.

A regular at the track (Arlington) many here know fondly or not worked a ghost FAA job so as not to miss a day of racing and now has a pension as he's now retired from 'not working'. Never missed a day at the track or off work.

Our money in the hands of union obligated politicians.

So why are you telling us? You knew of this criminal activity and let it happen.

Statute of limitations ran out decades ago and I didn't know him in the 1970's.

How is that he is getting a pension now for a job he didnt work. You need to report this rather then tell us.
