Well it all depends on where you live. It's not an easy field to be in. I'll be the first to tell you that.

Are you in a high production machining shop? Cuz most of the time cnc production shops are easy cuz it’s less of knowing the program fully, it’s just know a few offsets and how to change tools, factory work
