What equipment technicians make
Median
$49,630
First year
$35,980
Master technician
$76,480
The national median is $49,630 a year, and the bottom tenth start near $35,980. Be careful with this one: the wage survey files this job under agricultural technicians, a broader group that also counts crop and animal research technicians in labs. Dealership service technicians who fix machinery are usually at the upper half of this range once they are certified.
