Have you thought about a CNC training class ? Its really not hard to do ,of course there will be tricks you learn as you go but if an employer sees that you have knowledge of machining and have already taken a CNC course ,that will be enough to bring you in and train you further . Some employers like a clean slate ,ive talked to a few employers who hate hiring guys that are set in their ways and refuse to change to meet the companies already in place structure. This area isnt really known for paying top dollar for machinist , from the people i know , the area average is in the low 20/hour.

I represent Magnus and it's sister companies, AIM and PCI.  The CEO of floturn, the parent corp in Cincy, is a great guy.  Ask your dad if he remembers the MMS 3.  It was designed to make Mossberg receivers.  Never worked right. I sued the manufacturer for Magnus.  The manufacturers lost and went belly up. That was my intro to the company. They are good people.

This is 100% on the button,I run part of a small shop here in Fulton and when we hire for the most part we want someone who hasn't been trained,in the same breath I find it next to impossible to hire someone who has experience that's worth hiring.Id say get some CNC experience and take notes on what to do

We just filled a couple apprenticeships for tool and die makers, here in Palmyra. Tool and die is where its at. I love it. We run CNC, manuals, etc.. all of it. Whatever the company needs we build. Idk of anyone hiring, off the top of my head but we work with many outside vendors, i could ask around. We are not hiring right now but will be in a year or two when couple guys retire or if something happens before hand to fill their positions.., We would much rather have someone with great common sense and some mechanical aptitude, we can train ourselves... rather than gods greatest gift.. lol More fun too

As others have said get some CNC training. You now have an advantage over someone Just out of School. You have hands on experiance in machining. I was a machinist for over 30+ years when the company I worked for decided to get a CNC Lathe and A CNC Mill. At that time 3 axis. I new nothing about and did not own a computer, they sent us to school on both machines. From then on I set up , proghramed and ran both machines + some of the old manual machinery.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Don't become a specialist, I started out as a machinist 22 years ago,after the first 5 of manual lathe and mills ,I went on to start an apprenticeship as a mold maker . I have since been employed in the auto industry as a die maker for the last 2.5 years. The time I spent as a mold maker was still the highlight of my career. You learn grinders,lathe,mill,edm,cnc,cad cam,programming. The real fun begins once you become proficient at all them . Good luck with your future endeavors.
