Being a machinist of 44 tears I’ve seen mega technology changes in tooling and CNC equipment. The saddest thing is seeing a skilled machinist go from a respected tradesman to a machine operator on the same level as a button pusher. Management now only sees college educated office types as skilled and goes to them for advise. The attitude now is anyone can do my job. So in 7 more days they can get anyone to do my job. I’m retiring.
