Guess I might as well ask here... as I have been looking at becoming an avionics technician.
It looks like some of the pay rates here in NZ are ridiculous. One company has offered me a job, paying the same rate as when I graduated with a certificate in electronics 9 years ago. Another company is offering the same rate as I was on 3 years ago. This is $7000 and a company car short of what I can make comissioning comercial air conditioning systems.
Is there really a shortage of technicians or are the companies just dreaming when it comes to pay rates? What is a realistic pay rate I can expect to get both starting out in electronics and once certified?
