Hahaha, if it werent Alaska, that wouldn't sound so bad. The disparity between construction trade and Automotive may not be as wide in Canada, but there is still a difference. I started off in the construction industry before getting into automotive, and I took a loss in doing so. Apprentice technicians start in the $12-15 Range, and thats with an expectation of having some base knowledge or having taken a 10month full time Foundations course. The construction job I came from started guys with no experience at $18/h. Within 3 years I'd moved from that to $26/h plus new company truck and gas card...
