Life is what you make of it, such that a person can be an astronaut to become the next Neil Armstrong or work at a fast food establishment. Each one of these occupations have their own benefits but one thing they don’t have in common is education. With education and higher skill level there will be more work responsibility, finical compensation and more opportunities for advancement. Without additional education there is less chance for advancement
In 2015, I was forced into a position to make a choice if my current employment was right for me or if going to school would open up more opportunities for me. I was working full time at a local Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) Machining company, making enough to get by, some work freedom and …show more content…
According to Edu Choice. ORG,” In the 2006-2016 decade, overall CNC employment opportunities are expected to decline four percent, notes the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS); however, job opportunities should continue to be available because of the lack of skilled workers in the field.” (EduChoice.org) The Manufacturing field typically tends to be a very reliable field to be in “For every $1.00 spent in manufacturing, another $1.40 is added to the economy. That is the highest multiplier effect of any economic sector” per, The National Association of Manufactures. (National Association of Manufactures) This fact played a large role in my current degree, mechanical engineering. Going into mechanical engineering will allow me to use several of the skills learned in the machining field and be able to be share knowledge to other engineers on how to improve …show more content…
As a CNC machinist your responsibilities solely laid on what type of parts you were manufacturing and where they are used. Machinist are at the end of the manufacturing process so their responsibility is to make the part according to the print drawing up by the mechanical engineer. In mechanical engineering there is a concept that the customer wants you to come up with and design to fit their needs. This is a slow process with several different layers starting with brainstorming, concepts, research and development, design then manufacturing. The main portion of engineering is done several months before the product is to be
