Thank you all for the replies. It’s good to hear that it’s a good field to work in and I like to create things. I like to learn new things and have done great in my career by being a “go to guy” cause I seem to absorb knowledge. I’m sure the same will apply moving forward.
I realize the equipment is expensive and I appreciate the heads up on what to look for and expect.
I have been looking at YouTube videos on “crash course machinist” and “how to” videos to get a feel for what I might possibly be doing. I plan on taking a day off work soon to visit their business and talking with their HR to get a better feel for what I might be doing. Ask questions about hours worked, expectations, etc. (seems like a really weird way to potentially apply for a job, but I think it’ll also show how committed I’ll be)
The engines are a hobby I picked up from my grandfather and keep me entertained when I have time to play. Unfortunately with the changes in the company I’ve neglected a lot of things for 2 years and have done nothing but work. I hate to leave something I’ve been so good at for so many years to start over at the bottom, but I feel change is something I need in my life. I have worked out a 90day time line and plan to break the news to my director in the next 30 days. If they demote me and put me back to what I was doing I’ll stay, but I can’t take much more of my current position.
Thank you all again and stay safe.
