[cnwrobb]

Retired after 39 years on the railroad. Don't miss work, just the guys I used to work with. Busy doing all the things I should have done when I was working. Enjoying life and taking naps in the afternoon after doing morning chores around the house. Drinking too much k-cup coffee in the am, and not enough cold beer in the pm

depends on the industry I use to hire cnc operators starting at $12 an hour and they would max out at about $15. but that was in the stone fabrication industry. I do agree there is more and more demand for it

Im in St. Louis where aerospace and defense is pretty big.

If your good at it there is defiantly a career to be had. The machine is only as good as the operator. Machines aren't stupid just the people using them.

That's what I'm hearing a lot from machinists around here. I have the drive, motivation, and dedication to do it. I am done with "jobs", I want a career and CNC sounds like it will fit me well and will give me both a challenge and a sense of accomplishment both of which I need to keep me from burning out.

I'm a crop duster too, but I don't have a plane..

 

[shooter1054]

Having a marketable skill is cool. A friend of mine said this once or twice. He's still right.

 

[Rob01]

And that's why lineman are around...because even firefighters need heroes!

Heroes? Nah we just need you to pull the plug for us so we don't get fried and can save the day

We go into KSSI (St. Simon Island-Brunswick) about once a month. JAX Center handles arrivals and departures in that area. I'll ask for ya' next time. Small country these days. For what it's worth, we're a DA-50, N398AC.

The latter doesn't sound bad to me. The schedule would be more predictable with a better view, and maybe, benefits.

 

[lobo56]

I'm a Drunk! Well, lets say, retired out of Healthcare Field-Management.
