If you were able to invoice €125 per hour, you’d be pretty happy. Assuming you work a 38-hour week, and take two paid weeks off every year for your holidays, you’d be looking at gross earnings of €247,000 – a level at which you’d be up amongst the hedge fund managers and maybe some of the senior bankers of this land.
That’s not what we’re talking about here, though. We’re talking about the people who service your car. Now we’re not suggesting for a moment that your average car mechanic is earning merchant-banker money every year. Far from it.
