I know people that pull in over $60,000 doing strictly alarms for dealerships. I made $35,000 last year, I hate salary.

Always check info with a digital multimeter.

Sounds like I need to be working with you Shaughn...... but sadly my move is going to take me back home to look after my father. When his time comes, maybe then I'll be available for a change.

Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

It all depends on where you live. Most shops in Vancouver, BC Canada, pays around $12 to $15 per hour. I don't work for an hourly employer. Only work for a commission employer. I made over $55,000 last year and most of friends only made around $28,000 to $36,000.

Who do you work for an hourly employer or commission emplyer?
