[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 471461, member: 1780"] That's the stuff I was looking for, so experience is more valuable, so that tells me the worth of learning it isn't as much as I figured it to be. Like I said, I'm only inquiring about this as an option for if something happened to my current job, whatever it may be, in the future...I would have an emergency plan. Always good to have options. I could get a machinist certificate or whatever it is they require here, but I would just have to bid on the next job that came open and it's a seniority thing, although to do hire some outside machinists during special times. But there's very little turn around for machinists here. They all make mid $20's and have gravy ass jobs and we have great benefits, so they usually don't leave or go anywhere else. If I go anywhere within this place, I want a management or front office type job. I applied for a Production Planner job in the front office recently, but was eliminated earlier than some after my interview, due to lack of education.....even though I had sufficient experience at my current job, that would carry over to that job. Would have been an easy $20k a year pay increase too, had my fingers crossed on that one.....all the more reason to finish college degree though. Saw firsthand what possessing a degree can get you.
