Hey who makes those snow cleats you use to run in the winter? I can't find anything in my area other than shitty little studs to screw into my shoes and that will ruin them.

there are unionized shops however mine is not. and yeah youll need math if you want to go through a journeymanship and make real good money, but an operator makes 18-20/hr usually and most of your job is pushing a few buttons and touching off a probe tool, and then waiting between 2-20 minutes per part (this is downtime you can use to play with your phone or whatever)

Don't feel. Use emotional content.

Start your own shop. If you're good at your job and you're good at selling yourself to get a nice customer base you will make more for the work.

Do bench builds of automatic transmissions even if you have to R&R yourself. (I rarely do) its on a lift so its not bad all overhead.

How do you convince a machine shop to hire a 25 year old with no experience in anything other than small engine work, when there are trained guys out of work?
>>
>>14207219
I'd start by sending a cover letter and resume, then be honest in the interview. If you're a good candidate getting the job will be no problem.
>>
>>14207206
So kill yourself
>>
>>14207219
where are you at? i dont know of any trained machinists that dont have work, most shops will gladly take someone in their mid 20s with mechanical knowledge who is good with their hands. just try and stay away from tool and die shops if you dont like doing 1000 piece orders of 10 minute parts

South Mississippi. Not a lot of jobs here, you either got hired straight out of highschool for Dupont or the NASA test site or you just go and shoot up oxycodones.

I missed the bus on all three of those.

I really would hate to see my zero reference, one job resume if I had to write one up, but I'm going to be homeless pretty soon.

Would your shop hire me? I'm 100% serious.

>>14207290
leave Mississippi

>>14207290
not right now, we are pretty slow but i got in with nothing more than 4 years of highschool shop

>http://www.machineshopweb.com/shopsA2Z/ms.htm
check that out and just apply at as many as you can, even if you can get in as a manual machine operator its a food in the door and 90% of machine shops will be willing to train you because it means they dont have to pay someone with a degree

Yeah, unless you're an able-bodied white male.

probably not, and expect to be piss tested atleast once for your hire (most shops dont piss test after your interview) but its not too bad of a job and you get to make cool shit all day

Start you own shop faggot.
>take all your tools
>buy a couple of used lifts for $1-$2k

There ya go.

That's the funny thing

I don't do drugs, I haven't drank in a few years. Mid-summer at the lawnmower shop I'll take 5 minutes out of the entire day to eat a burger and back to busting my ass for under the table crumbs. Yet lazy bubbas from highschool get hired on to the only jobs in the area and get union salaries to sit around half the day making dick jokes.

Service writer, teacher, lab tech, radio host, other stuff.

You certainly aren't dead ended here if you are a truly experienced tech who wants to break out of whats become the 'painful' part of your profession.

>>14207417
Theres a lot more to running a business than what you listed there though.
