I was watching what the machinist at this factory I worked at were doing and started looking into it and I like the potential to own your own company and from what I've read there is a lot of potential for that.
Also I enjoy doing skilled work and producing I find it interesting I wouldn't mind taking engineering classes at night and inventing my own parts.

There's tons of machining job opportunities
Its really hard to pick a career right now that's still going to exist in ten years.
From what I read there will always be a need for machining because 3d printing isn't as precise because it uses a different method ie machining is subtracting and printing is adding you get a fine product.
That's why I want to get into making gun parts and medical stuff with plastic and for screws
