unless this is in a very high living expense area, i will wave the BS flag on that.
just doing inspections and emissions for a dealership will not pay that good, believe me.
if he does driveability and electrical, yes....but not just inspections.

"A hyperbole, largely synonymous with exaggeration and overstatement, is a figure of speech in which statements are exaggerated or extravagant. It may be used due to strong feelings or is used to create a strong impression and is not meant to be taken literally. It gives greater emphasis. It is often used in poetry and is a literary device.
Some examples of hyperboles include:
"He is as big as a house!"
"I'm so hungry I could eat a horse!"
"That's the worst idea in the world."
The antonym to hyperbole is understatement.
In show business, hyperbole (known as hype or media hype) is the practice of spending money on public relations in an attempt to bolster public interest in (for example) a movie, television show, or performing artist. Often the entertainment value of the thing being hyped is exaggerated."

I'm not trying to burst your bubble, but don't expect to come out of any tech school making 100K.

For real. Starting salary is around 30+K. That might be a lot of money to you, but it aint shit for me. Considering how expensive it is to live around here and just get by, 30K isnt going to cut it.
