How's the Pay?!
Machinist:
Make sure you're getting paid what you deserve to get paid because you're helping them gain financial profit DAILY!!! The rich get richer while the poor gets the crumbs & scraps!
December 2014
Machinist:
Get your money up front or you may never get paid what you are worth. Stay away from unions, they are just bad for everything and don't look out for everyone and protect the lazy.
November 2014
Machinist:
Learn what you can when you can! You'll learn new things everyday keep an open mind to how other people do things to create your own style of machining. Best way to start into machining is from manual machines. Get comfortable with tooling and knowing how it feels to actually cut metal.
