Re:
Machinist work has been good to me, I'm 24 and making about $20 an hour with 2 years school. As others have said though experience seems to be worth more than schooling. I know of local shops who will not give you more than $10 til after 3 yrs. But for the most part $20-$25 is pretty common after a few years exp. I'm trained in cnc machining, programming, and conventional machining, the big money is in programming.
I work for General Electric, in the oil and gas division, siemens is our biggest competitor
