[QUOTE="BillM, post: 3787230, member: 45785"] I did. I've got over 300 semester hours of college credits. Two associates, degrees, and was only 6 hours from earning a second associates when I retired from the USAF. Got the actual second degree here at Rose State before going to OU for their TE+ teacher education program. Bachelors degree in Social Studies Secondary Education. About half a masters in special education. And Francis Tuttle tells me they're mailing my certificate from the Precision Manual Machining course I just completed there May 10th. I'm retired again, and drawing social security, and building a home machine shop. If I work, I'll work for me. I worked as a teacher in the OKC metro for almost 3 years, after going to school for it for 10 years. Developed obstructive sleep apnea in 2008, crashed and burned my teaching career, and went back to mechanicing in 2014, with some odd jobs in between. And the week after I got a raise to $21.78/hour, Covid-19 crashed my last mechanicing job. All desktop machines, and several of them need refurbishment, but I'm a decent mechanic, and have the tools to make parts if I can't buy them. I started the machining thing with a Harbor Freight Mini-lathe. Recently traded it in on a couple of Unimat micro-lathes. I've made a faceplate, ER20 chuck, and a couple of milling tables for the Unimats. There are advantages to a lathe you can pick up one-handed. :) Bill [/QUOTE]
