As long as you have a functioning brain it should work out.

if you can get in to a shop looking for apprentices even better.

In California (and probably other high-spic states) they only hire non-English speaking immigrants for minimum wage. Doesn't take a PhD to put the part in a chuck and press the button. That's what those guys know how to do. There's a separate QA department to check their work.

Those guys are dumb as fuck. Back when I worked QA I would see shit all the time, like the guy who would clean out his machine with compressed air after he was done machining fiberglass. No respirator, no PPE at all. Fucking morons.

Ill add, being from SoCal, specifically OC. All the spic's hire family. So Javier gets a job at the machine shop, he hires his brother Juan, Cousin Jose and his Uncle, Chewie.

So while there may be jobs, its locked up by Spic family.

Sounds like California is a hell-scape.

It's coming for your state, too. That's what Biden's flood of immigrants agenda is all about. Everyone thinks it couldn't happen where they live. California used to think like that all the way up until the 1990's.

I don't think its any different than any other place. I not a machinist though.

Same with niggers, curry niggers, rice niggers (though rice niggers will sometimes hire Whites) etc.

Those guys would tease each other all the time. "Why are you wearing that respirator? Are you a fag?" LOL.

Druggy at our shop liked painting without a respirator.

He did a good job, why tell him how to do it.

I remember learning how much fiberglass sucks. We used to have these fiberglass light poles around my neighborhood when I grew up. Me and a friend decided to shimmy up these one day. No shirt in shorts. That sucked

Warning: they're starting to escape into the QA dept too.
Pre-covid I left a company where every one of the QA staff were spanish speaking except for one old dude waiting for his social security to hit. They would have spanish meetings, and not tell the 20+ year employee what he needed to know in order to avoid being written up.

Nope, Nope, Nope! I got out of there fast!

True machining is FAR more than putting a part in and pushing a button. You've got to know math, be able to understand cause and effect, differences in types of metals. Most in my family are machinists, going back several generations. Before machining my family were blacksmiths. I'm not speaking of the cnc machine either. To be a true machinist you've got to understand how to take a chunk of metal and turn it into a functioning machine.

You're thinking of the person who does the programming and prototyping. That guy's always white. Once you get the program set and kinks ironed out, a robot could do the actual machining. It's just that spics don't require the massive up-front investment like robots.

I'm not speaking about cnc machining. I'm talking about old school pre computer machining. Where you had to do the thinking and figuring. You had to operate the lathes, drills, grinders etc. Back when it was real man's work.

I grew up in a machine shop watching and learning from my dad as he did from his. Do I know what I'm talking about.

Here in the Florida Panhandle EVERY store and business is hiring. 17 bucks an hour starting pay at 5 Goys Burgers.

That's one of the downsides to the Florida Panhandle. Most jobs are just retail or service industry jobs.
I'd LOVE to move back to that area, but my job is so specialized that I'm not sure I could find work in that area that pays the same I make now.

Construction/remodeling is booming, dude. I could work 24/7 if I wanted to. Tourism/boating/beach shit too. I'm on the coast.

ONE thing I will give credit to the Florida Panhandle for. All that construction/remodeling is NOT like 99% mexicans. It's almost as if the Panhandle is good at hiring their own instead of importing cheap labor. I could be wrong if times have changed, but that's how I remembered it when I lived there.

I'm not allowed to operate machinery though.

Well, you aren't supposed to tell them that during the interview. When they ask if you have the necessary skills just wink and press a button on the phone. It's all they need to know!

There's a backstory that needs telling...

I thought about becoming a machinist years ago but couldnt find any programs. Apparently the tech schools went south because they decided the equipment was too expensive to turn a profit.

Just do an internet search for "machining" in your area then drive by. I almost guarantee there will be a hiring sign out front.

[–] 0 pt

There is one. Says 1-3 years experience required but I do have experience in a sorta related field.

[–] 3 pts

Most of the online postings will say that. Apply anyways. They are hurting for people. The old reliables are retiring and there aren't enough up and comers in the field.

Just lie to them. Mine as well. They’re not gonna hire you if you tell the truth. What you got to lose?

It doesn't require school at all honestly. You can learn most of what you need to know in like 4 months if someone takes you on as an apprentice. You may need to take some courses in math for calculating tan / cos / sin for a few jobs, but most of that stuff is in lookup tables anyway.

I'll be machining the wives or girflriends of any of the non American machinists so I can get them to leave the area when they realize that I am in charge. Conflict or retreat. Your choice Pablo or Ahmed.

I one time encountered a machinist. He was a machine in a machine working on machines and he taught me how to fix the machines and become a machine. I know machines and I have a 7.5 inch machine and many other machines in my machinery.

Gotta mill those ghost guns.

Like in the ghostbusters? Those were movie props I think.
