Just wondering if anyone would like to discuss what type money you make as a lift tech. I'm curious if I'm making close to the same here in MN. Lift tech for 8 years making 17.99....

I added this poll because openly stating what you get paid might upset the higher ups. But an open poll is harmless enough.

Anything is possible when you don't understand what you are talking about.

I posted a poll about pay rate so that people can "vote" their pay rate without actually stating it.

I PM'd him as I am not anonymous in my location or identity. But what the hell; I would very much like to see a sampling of pay from different regions, resorts and positions.

Here is some info from my place:
Entry level mech, little to no related exp: $9-10 start
Solid related exp or after a few years exp here: $10-14
Extensive LM exp: never had such applicant: :w00t:
I have 3 guys in the $18-22 range: 8yr mech/electrician, 30 yr welder/ironworker, and 20 yr vehicle mech.
Me: mtn ops manager, 14 yr mech, 8yr vm, mediocre electrician, mediocre cat/equipment operator, and all the rest that goes with it: 50k annual

Next:

Sorry, LiftTech. That wasn't the response I was looking for!
And I neglected to see that there were actually responses to the poll - my bad.

Shouldn't you recreate it since you botched it?!?!? I always try to fix the things I break.

Looks like there's quite the range of salaries in this industry.
