Nah not really worth it, just go to some community college.
I managed without any schooling to get hired by Mercedes just based on my enthusiasm and personality. So long as you have some schooling and can prove yourself you'll be good. I don't work there anymore or any dealer as a mechanic since im back in school but I wanted to try it and I think its worth exploring if you really like it/
Some Wyotech students were telling me its not worth it, at least for the price they charge.
Plus some techs are upset that they are changing the hours they get for certain work. They get paid based on how many hours the job takes regardless of how long it takes them, blackbook rate. From time to time they'll have a tech do some work and based on that the dealer or I forget maybe Mercedes or any other car company for that matter low the amount of hours you get like an AC job or other stuff that was considered easy money.
This is one of those physical jobs where you start off as an apprentice and after like half a year of getting $10/hr lets say. I think fed. min is $7.50/hr if you dont have tools and 15.00/hr if you do. After you feel like your qucik and good enough to do work by black book hours then you get paid a certain amount per hours based on experience and then that just gets multiplied by how many hours you accomplished that day.
You might get tired of the work after some years and want to do something less physical happens to a lot of people.
Hopefuly this helps you out a little
Annual pay thus varies greatly, sometimes like back in the day you could get 80-100K a year but now its more like 60k but can ngo as low as 40K.
