My job pretty much fell in my lap. I was thinking either mechanic of some sort (leaning towards deisel/agricultural equipment) and machinist. I happened to walk past my co-op teacher I was gonna have my senior year, and he just got off the phone with a gear & sprocket shop who was looking for a co-op student.

I worked there for 4 years, 3 of them after highschool, and then needed to go to nights so I could finish my technical diploma during the day. Worked the next 1 1/2 years for a job shop, then 3 months at another job shop (got sick of nights after my brother died and they didn't treat their guys with much respect), 5 months at a pattern shop (attitude problems), and now I'm happy at the shop I'm at and been there for over 2 years. We do a variety of things, some long run 1 pc. orders, some small intricate things, but hardly ever the same thing 2x. Lots of setups and many different industries.

I enjoy my job most of the time and I get along with most of the guys I work with. I can play nice with those who I don't. There is upward advancement available, which is why I'm now on 2 bigger machines, and I think I'm gonna be here for a while.
