Career Outlook

After earning a Certificate of Completion or an Associate of Applied Science degree, you should find a job with an auto dealership or repair business as an automotive technician or a service advisor, auto parts clerk or perhaps own an auto shop. Most graduates should expect to find an entry-level job that pays an annual salary of about $17,000 to $19,000. Promotions and extra training usually boost an employee’s paycheck to the $17 to $20 per hour range within three to five years.
