[QUOTE="TNGreg, post: 471799, member: 7128"] Like others have said , school might get your foot in the door. But experience will get you paid. The shop I work at has been having a hard time hiring and keeping young machinist, because of the pay scale. Also alot of kids getting out of school dont have the work ethic to do machinist work. I have been in the trade going on 23 years and the type of work we do has changed alot over the years. I mainly run manual lathes, mills, surface grinders, and jigbore/jig grinder machine. We do alot of close tolerance, low quanity parts for all types of customers. We also have a CNC dept. with 4 programmers and about 35 machine operators. With a few years experience you could probably go anywhere and get some type of job. I have made a decent living in a machine shop but would encourage a young person to become a machinist. [/QUOTE]
