I've know people that have worked at Sears and they always told me they were busy. I would say sears has a better rep. than most easy lube places. I would use Sears as a stepping stone, and if working on cars is something you really want to do, then take some automotive classes and get your ASE's.

Also another law, I not sure if other states have something similar, but, If your work requires you to provide your own tools than your min. wage is double min. So $16 an hour if your work requires you to provide your own tools.

luckily i only have the one car payment, cost of living is lower here too which helps... one thing i need to find out is if sears provides tools to there employees out there, have to add that to my list of **** to find out while im there in april. an extra 8$ per hour would be extremely helpful since i already have my own tools. that would put me at around 19/hr which i feel would be sufficient with the people i am moving there with.

40 minutes to go 3 miles the last time i took the 5 to 101 interchange coming from steve's (reign1) house. Nothingmore annoying than looking in your rear view mirror, and seeing exactly where you were 30 minutes ago
