CNC Machinist
I work and maintain manufacturing machines for metal parts.
I come into work, power up my machine, and go over what my day is going to look like and what I want to get done that day. I'm given projects but I do most of the start-to-finish planning on my own. This includes determining which tools I need, what the time window looks like, and planning all steps involved. I then get to work on the project. I have to constantly look over everything and make sure I'm double checking the work to prevent mistakes.
Here's the first step for everyone
Look into trade schools and certification programs. I've found that these options have a more direct delivery into careers than some other options.
