OK, brainlessone, if your mechanic has his own garage then he's apt to do alright but for those who don't, it's not easy street. When was the last time you heard of an auto mechanic who's driving a new Mercedes?
Let's face it, an auto mechanic is far more valuable to most people than an auto salesman is. And my overall point was that people aren't necessarily compensated for their true value. Bush should be paying the people of this country, not the other way around.
