With mergers, consolidations, and changes it really doesnt matter so much about the brands. With Case/IH and New Holland now under the same roof, and mostly owned by Fiat who knows. From the cheap seats where I sit around here it looks like the Deere dealers which also carry a Kubota franchise are the ones making money. Im friends with several of their shop guys. Most of them start at a shade over 10 an hour and top out in the mid 20's an hour. The Cat techs are the ones who seem to be making the most. With over time a lot of them will make 50K a year. Especially the ones who also have underground certification to work on underground mining machinery.
Sales guys, just guessing since I know a lot fewer of them seem to be making in the mid 30's to mid 50's a year average. The money in sales in in yellow equipment. A couple of the Cat sales people I know well were bringing home low 6 figures before the economy tanked. They are still doing ok, but not making what they were. With sales, it seems that location and territory are everything.
As for diesel mechanics, dont just think ag and yellow equipment. Railroads employ a bunch of them, so do trucking companies.
Of course, with your grades and honors courses, why not branch out? Why just fix them when you can design them? Mechanical engineering perhaps?
