Get fucked!

Thats insane, university sports coaches get paid that much! tradesmen get fuck all! I would be surprised if any school or university sports coach in Australia got paid much over $100,000.

To me that would be one awesome job. But...do the mechanics ever get to rip on the bikes they maintain? That's gotta suck to work on a bike with all this factory or just fancy top of the line stuff and never get to ride .. I feel sad everyday working on planes and not getting to fly .

This is the silly follow-up question people always ask when salaries come up on this forum. When you're looking for a job, do you not care what the paycheck is? If you're like most people, you do, and you do a little research to learn your market value.

It seems like salaries are public in every other professional sport. I think it's a bigger secret in this sport because the numbers are so disappointing. People should know that before pursuing the infamous industry job.

Do you know all public workers have public salaries? I see you're from Ohio:

Ohio State University salaries
Urban Meyer, head football coach, $4.61 million
Thad Matta, head men's basketball coach, $3.39 million
Raul Weiss, clinical professor/ cardiologist, $1.98 million
Eugene Smith, athletics director, $1.98 million
Kevin McGuff, head women's basketball coach, $1.19 million
Christopher Cullen, general counsel, $1.27 million
Michael Drake, president, $1.04 million

Are they doing better than our top 7 pro riders?

I am pretty sure the mechanics are aloud to ride the practice bikes. I am sure I have seen a video of one of Deano's mechanics riding one of his bike.

Also most people I see doing this job do it for the love of the job rather than money (obviously money is always a factor). Obviously they deserve to be paid more because of all the shit hours and travelling but so do a lot of other people in shit jobs that's just the way it works out.

Not many mechanics of any level get to ride a race bike when they get an itch to moto. My bros mechanic kept his bike inside the house out of the way but that’s about one of the only guys who came to work with a bike.

You need a new calculator ?

You added 1 too many zeros. Since his lodging, food, gas was taken care of he did okay. But you also have to realize he was away from home most of the year.....a extremely low hourly rate when you don’t check out at 5pm and head home.

Thanks for the info. I think it is quite scandalous to see these Fortune500 c-level salaries in public organizations, they are supposed to give the best value for students education. It is pretty much milking students.

Otherwise back to the mechanic salaries, it doesn't pay well especially considering the commitment but i think it is probably a good career step to showcase great skills.

Whole different subject that deserves its own thread, but I have a step-daughter approaching college age and as I've done research on schools/tuition I realize they give you a breakdown of what the tuition is paying for and it seems like most of it goes toward athletics.

I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, not considered an elite level athletic school like your Carolinas, NC-States, Penn States, Ohio States....but even there most of the money goes toward funding athletics. Its crazy.
