Specialties that pay better

• Commercial turf equipment

  Golf courses, sports fields and landscaping fleets run expensive machines and cannot wait for repairs.

• Outboard and marine engines

  Boat engines pay more than mowers and the season is brutal, which is exactly why shops compete for technicians.

• Generators and standby power

  Home and commercial standby systems need installation, testing and service contracts. Steady money, not seasonal.

• Battery and electric equipment

  Cordless tools and mowers are taking over the lower end. Learning the battery and controller side early is a genuine advantage.
