Ishimmy I fear you may be right. Well I know this is off topic but if I was to leave the farm do you think its a good Idea I go and work for another farm? I have worked for several other farms before and all went well. I enjoyed it and I really want to do something I love and I am good at. Sadly I don't think college is the path I would like to take because I learn with my hands not my head. Have thought about possibly trying the 2 or 4 year ag program at msu tho. I have done a ton of research on what it takes to be a johndeere mechanic and am really interested in that. I enjoy working on things and also enjoy fixing and diagnosing are equipment when it breaks. But Ive heard from several people I know that they don't get paid what they should and are treated pretty bad.
Here, a good, fair mechanic turns away work. And I’ll haul a ways to one. It’s inside, year around and you set your own hours. Ask your friendly j.d. dealer what shop rates are. I’ll bet they pay mechanic maybe 1/4 or so.
Granted—it’s costing them almost that much again—-but still, if you can manage and are productive—-Very good living and time to farm some if you’re on you’re own. |
