[QUOTE="pushrod-racing, post: 471433, member: 5758"] Ive been a programmer/machinist around 4 years now. I actually went to trade school for industrial maint. I scored my current job from an interview to be a welder. I had some but not much button pushing/parts swapping experience prior but not a lot. We run our own programs at my work which I love( if machine crashes or parts scrap you know here to point the finger). Honestly job security in this trade is really good right now due to people just aren't going to school for it anymore. But with that being said most shops start out a machinist 10-14.00 range and I can understand why people don't want to get into it. If you buy new, which most don't, your tools alone can range $2200-7000.00 just for the basics. I got tired of working places with great pay for 5-8 months then being laid off or work going south. So I finally made the decision with my wife as long as the bills get paid and we can store away some extra cash I am staying where I am. It def a plus to have some machinist training theres always jobs available. [/QUOTE]
