How much money does a tv repair technician earn?

Answer 1

Not enough! People have no clue on the amount of technology that a TV tech has to constantly study just to stay up with the current trends and changes in circuitry from year to year. On top of it all, is the customer that just dropped a few grand on a new TV only to find out that it doesn't last very long before it needs service. Of course they're angry and the minute you walk into their home or they bring it into the shop, you have to deal with upset people who feel put out by their purchase. If that's not enough, you'd have to have a warehouse the size of several foot ball fields to house a parts inventory for all the brands, makes and models, plus millions to cover the cost of those parts. That translates into customers being upset because you have to order parts almost 99.5 percent of the time. Not to mention, the cost of replacement parts. Wanna talk about `sticker shock'? I got out of it last year and haven't looked back. It just isn't worth it.

Answer 2

It depends. In a local shop? Maybe around 36K/yr. For a big box retailer, maybe as much as 60K/yr.
