Now is a bad time to be in the powersports industry, especially just starting. The whole industry is based on "toys" basically so with the economy the way it is now, the whole market is down. On the dealership end, unit sales were down on average between 30-50% for a lot of brands for last year. Don't have figures for parts and labor but it's got to be close to that too. We can really see it at our dealership since we're not a "large" one. I'm out as soon as I can find another job. Though I loved working in the industry, i'm living on a poverty level income right now and I don't love it that much. While you'll probably be in a salary position you have to consider if things get tighter, you'll likely be one of the first laid off since you'll be the new guy.
