got a lead on something different today. i'm currently a bookkeeper for a nursing home. my dad found a machine shop (he sells CNC type machines) nearby that's looking for a new machine operator/programmer that "hasn't been tainted by other people in the profession", someone with computer skills. i'd basically be groomed and trained exactly how the owner of the shop wants, and get paid twice as much as now for it with massive room for growth.
the only little hiccup is that he's currently looking for someone and so i'd have to make a decision pretty quick about if it's what i want to do or not.

it kind of seems like he's looking for someone that'll be there long term, and can learn whatever he wants them to learn. he doesn't want someone who "knows what they're doing", he wants someone that's gonna do what he wants them to do, how he wants them to do it. i would basically be an investment for them, they would teach me everything and train me on all the machines with plan of me being there long term and becoming the advanced operator that knows everything.

Just got a call for an offer a few minutes ago.
Parttime IT desktop support at the state university here. Plus benefits. And I'm going to be working with the database admin to start learning and hopefully get that position in Feb, which will be full time and kick ass pay, plus awesome door openings for future jobs.

nope. he actually asked if i had ever seen a machine. i said yes, i cleaned them at one point, and he said "well, that's a start". i meeting with him on friday to take a look at the shop, discuss some options and see where it goes.

if you like the place, roll the dice. It won't be easy (learning something from scratch), but if you're patient from both sides, this will work out for all.
Also, grab your CNC experience. From there, you can make quite a bit of money with or without this company.

12 years of CNC experience here :af: mostly running them. but to be good at running them you have to know what's going on which means reading the program. so I'm not a "programmer" but I can read one and write a basic one on the fly. Most programs now are wrote with autocad or mastercam.
