Depends on his skill level & experience level.
He is probably not gonna start out making OT type money but will have to work his way up from the bottom.
Does he want to work on light duty vehicles(Ford Super Duties, GM, Dodge Ram, Nissan Trucks...)? Find a Ford, GM, Dodge, Nissan dealership...
What about heavy trucks? Sterling, Freightliner, Kenworth...try those dealerships.
Heavy machinery, ie bulldozers, cranes, tractors. Try Cat, John Deere, Kubota, Komatso...try those dealerships.
Main thing is to get some real-life, hands on experience. A man won't get too much of that at a school.
He will probably have to 'struggle' a couple of years.

he was printing money.
maybe he was paying his techs $15/hr and keeping the other $85 of the $100/hr shop rate.

Terrible time for it, but I have relatives in the industry. Some of their mechanics pull 6 figures easy working crew boats and rigs. At least before the downturn. They work their asses off though. Lots of hours and that type of work is the "work until it finished, sleep after" type.
