    On my second Dyson, not sure why I bought a second one. Thing is always getting jammed up with hair and needs complete disassembly to clean it out, and batteries will only last two years before needing replacement. All the joints are very loose as well now. Will be going with the Miele HX2 at some point soon which is actually cheaper than some of the Dyson.

    All the decent flat rate techs I know make that much. Some much more. I don’t know anyone who has had to apply for a proper job through a job posting. It’s all through word of mouth. I have never had to “apply” for a job. All those listings must be for pretty shitty jobs, especially if they have a “salary”. Means they have hardly enough work for their techs. Any good shop will pay flat rate. So you can get paid 20-30 hours in an 8 hour shift. My best day was 36 hours in an 8 hour shift. And I make $41/hr.

    It’s hard as hell, and I also got lucky getting a job at a dealer that actually takes care of its employees. Also lucky that this trade is in very high demand. I could leave here and have five job offers by tomorrow. That actually happened back when I was an apprentice, got laid off from the small independent shop I worked at. Had two job offers before I even got home.
