Your Questions About Wind Turbine Technician Salary
Nancy asks…
Becoming a wind turbine technican?
I think I should pursue this career. I am 18 years old and the future looks really bright for this. People say that you could travel all around the country and that would be AWESOME. all of it sounds pretty good except for the salary. They only make on average 43k a year which is awful in my opinion. Does that sound about right? making 43k a year?
admin answers:
It’s anywhere from 36K to 70K depending on what you’re doing or what your skill set is.
Most “technicians” are just doing preventative maintenance/checks and there isn’t really a whole lot involved other than climbing.
They even call janitors “custodial technicians” so don’t let the title fool you especially if it’s a trade school trying to sell you on their program(s).
You should choose a career path that is what YOU want, not what pays the most. You’re going to have to go to work and do it every single day and if it’s not something you really enjoy, then you will become very disheartened very quickly. You also want to be treated with respect, not like someone who can be replaced by the next set of shoes that shows up.
