Hey Lanse... don't let the math scare ya off... I flunked out of math in junior high... been machining for 15 years now and love it! every day is a new challenge... even when running the CNC (production) machines. I used to think they (CNC machines) would be boring, but now am into programming and getting more involved every day. What a trip!!! In our shop, we're doing things I'm not sure I would've believed possible even a few years ago.

Regardless which you choose, work hard and stay focused... you'll get there!!! ...D
