Question:

if i become a diesel technican were could i work?

i go to UTI get the diesel technican program were could i get a joband what would be the starting wageshow much would i make a yearthanksp.s i would eithier work in texas or california

Answer:

If U learned a skill see which industry is needed for what u want to do.UTI should have jobs lined up.
in cali, the stockton/sacremento area is just packed with semi sales and service centers. got a big CAT tractor place there too. and there are also the ports, big cargo ships have diesel motors too. starting wages depend on your exact skills and experience, and exactly who you end up working for. but i'd guessestimate about $18 to start with. 20 years later, $40+ per hour (in todays money) is quite possible.
If you are a certified Diesel Tech you can get a job just about anywhere in the world. Spend some time learning MARINE DIESELS and you can go live in paradise on just about any Caribbean island and have a good job to support yourself.
you could work for car Dealerships, boat service centers, commercial truck centers, heavy equipment companies, Family Fun Centers that utilize diesel generator systems (like ski resorts), and Power utility companies. All pay pretty well. The starting pay will be dependent on the state, job duties and the competition in the market place. The best pay will be in Heavy Equipment, Commercial Trucking, and then vehicle Dealerships. My Step-Son went to UTI in AZ. He started out working for Sea Ray boats, but the pay wasn't great, about $15 per hour to start. His buddy went to work for a car dealership and started making $60k per year and now is earning $100k per year after 6 years in the same dealership.
