My boss has been looking for new technicians since I joined but has had no luck. His excuse is the classic "Nobody wants to work", but then I saw what he's paying for entry level for the positions. It's so low you're better off working at McDonalds or slinging Amazon packages bad.
Nobody wants to work... for peanuts.
Who told you you had to work? They pay peanuts, they got monkeys.
Yeah it's pretty hard to find positions that are open for a while where no one is applying for who is qualified and the salary offered is good. I am sure there must be some out there (hey it's a big world) but it isnt common.
An electrical tech should be making at least 35k entry level where I live. If you get into something like elevator you could be in the low 100ks. I don't recommend elevator work.
