[QUOTE="JRSherman, post: 1531212, member: 13432"] Hear Hear!! Every day I go to my machinist class at Tulsa Tech, I am dumb founded by the fact that they have to cancel some classes because not enough people sign up. If you go to Jobs on Craigslist-Tulsa, and type in CNC, there are pages of employment opportunities, and more than a few of them are offering to train you while you go to school. As for myself, I didn't want to be a button pushing monkey(no offense meant to CNC machinists) I wanted to, and am, working in manual machining. I make parts from scratch, one or two at a time, and every day at work I learn something new and gain more experience. As a new machinist I almost cried that I was able to get the job that was exactly what I wanted, yet the company that hired me hadn't been able to fill the position for over a year, as no one would apply. I sincerely hope Mr. Rowe's efforts are well received and duly praised, as he is absolutely correct. Thanks for sharing this VM, it gives me hope that the following question may be delayed a little longer. Who is John Galt? [/QUOTE]
