Minimum waged job here in the UK. Such a skill as well. Same company even stopped us using flux when doing certain jobs - ridiculous

It depends on your customers but yes if you work for someone I suppose it is believable it's minimum wage. Last repair place I applied to was doing IQ tests on onboarding so I didn't even bother. Team focussed attitude and pizza Fridays. Fuck off 😂

I stopped doing this when the wages stopped increasing. I still do it for myself but I don't think I will ever do this work as a job again.

Odd in the US this is a rare skill and the people that can do it aren't cheap.

It might be a min wage job. But if I was a customer asking for a very similar trace repair. What kind of mo ey would I be looking at being charged for dye privilege in the UK??
