In the early 70's I went to a local Votech and got an aas in Ag Mechanics, My brother went to a state university and got the same paper. This qualified us to be wrench turners floorsweepers and gofers. After a couple of years in a dealership you will gain your real experience and be sent to the manfacturers schools and gain all of your brand certifacations. A college can only teach you basic theory and priciples. Depending on your area prevailing wage I would guess that you would sart in the 8 to 12 dollar range and top out between 20 and 30 depending on the certifications that you garner during your years. If I were hiring a fresh person such as yourself I would be looking at your school paper and a coupla years experience in something that required some modicum of mechanical ability such as working in a tire shop changing truck tires. Just something that would show that you were dependable and knew one end of a wrench from the other.
