Average salary: 26.960

In 2014, 18 million bikes were sold in the US, while 36 million Americans rode a bike more than 4 times during the year. Although overall bicycle use has remained flat in last few years, workers who know who to fix broken bikes are in demand.

There is no much doubt about what bicycle repairer’s duties are – he or she is responsible for fixing two-wheelers, which means that this job requires a lot of hand work. However, that is not the whole story. Bicycle repairers also have daily interaction with clients which can add stress especially if they are dealing with demanding customers. This is a good career choice for those who can not wait to leave school, since high school diploma, along with some formal and informal training is enough to get you the job. However, the salary is way below state’s average which means that you might need an additional job to make a living.
