[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 471405, member: 1780"] I'm at the point to where I'm about to start back to college after a couple year break for good reasoning, and am curious about Machinists. I have a good job now and not looking to leave it anytime soon (hopefully) until I finish my education. I want to complete a Business Management and Supervision degree, as I think that, along with my current experience, will help me with future jobs of my interest, moving up within my company, or even accepting a better job elsewhere if the opportunity is given. But that's not what this thread is about. As long as I attend college for something work related (Engineering, Business, Accounting, Machinist, etc), I get full reimbursement for tuition and books upon submitting a grade report with satisfactory grades. We have several machinists that work here. They only make a few more dollars an hour than I do, but if it came down to a layoff, I believe they would be a more valuable asset and might get to stick around longer than some. I know there are several machinists on this forum and seem to make good money. I am curious about what certifications, education, etc that you have as a machinist. My idea is, it's always good to have a backup plan. If something ever happened to whatever my current job at the time is, it would be great to have something to fall back on, having a machinist education. Being that I could get machinist education paid for, in the back of my mind I think, why would I not do that. What do you think? I may not even ever mess with being a machinist, but before I discard or pursue that idea, I wanted to hear other machinists feedback and what their background is. [/QUOTE]
