I've been a machinist for almost 10 years now.  I've worked at the same family owned company since '98.  We do mostly prototype and short run jobs; as a job shop we don't sell a product, instead companies come to us with blueprints and we make the parts for them. Most are local companies, but we've done work for some larger ones also.  Even though I use the same equipment/tooling, the jobs vary a great deal.  One day I might be making parts from aluminum, the next day stainless steel, brass, some weird composite, who knows?
I was hired on as their sheetmetal guy.  After mastering that, I gained experience on a lathe and Bridgeport, and learned how to program our CNCs.  Lately, I've been the QC guy.  I didn't know hardly anything when I started, so I feel like I owe this place.  My boss put me through school AAS in Manufacturing Tech/Tool and Die, (paid for everything, I just had to get B's or better)
When I finished my 2 year in MT instead of going to a 4 year school, I took a little time off, then about 2 years ago started taking classes towards a Business degree.  Unlike most people, I enjoy school, and learning new stuff, plus I work with a bunch of dudes all day, so it's nice to go to school with a bunch of 18-22 year old hot girls.  (hey at least I'm honest about my ulterior motives)


Up until recently, I loved my job, but it's starting to get old, and I don't know what the heck I wanna do for the next 30 years or so (i'm 28).  Maybe this thread will give me some ideas.

I sell drugs..... I work for Pfizer in the Uro/Respitory division calling on primary care docs.  I sell puppies, Detrol LA, Spiriva, & Chantix.  In otherwords, if you are coming or going or just breathing heavy....I'm your guy.
