Toyzilla's right. In Houston, TX there are dealers offering $25-30 for experienced electric techs to start and competition is sometimes fierce in that regard. But, I think alot of it is "tennis ball techs" that bounce from dealer to dealer and leaving openings in their wake. During 11 years working at my previous employer, off the top of my head, I can name atleast 6 techs that were re-hired by them atleast twice and a few that were re-hired 3 times. I know 2 guys that have worked at every dealer, from the biggies to the mom and pops, in Houston during their carreers. Now that the recession is declining it's becoming a technician's market again.

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
