[QUOTE="Blase, post: 327578, member: 424"] At our shop we start out newbies between $10-$15 an hour depending on skill level and work experience. "top pay" for a machinist right now is around $25 per/hour. Our guys work 6A-6P 5 days a week and have to work one weekend a month for 17 hours. You can do the math on what a good machinist can make here!! :eek: :eek: :eek: LOTS and LOTS of OT to be had!! Out Texas location has about a 10% higher pay scale and the top guys there make closer to $30 but have less chance to make OT. Pay depends greatly on the area in which you live!! We Honestly don't think to highly of the trade schools in this area. Most of our guys either already have real world machining experience or we train them from scratch. That is how most of the shops in our area operate. Most of the trade schools around here only teach the very basics using old equipment. We run conversational controls on all of our CNC machines so knowing G-code is not super helpful at our shop. [/QUOTE]
