cnc operators

[Ployd]

I work in Tacoma, WA. There seems to be plenty of work out this way. But like John says you may have to relocate.

 

Sambo, I used to live in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. I moved out here about 9 years ago. The company I worked for tried to transfer me to Chicago after being in WA for a few years. I was like "no thanks" had a couple job offers in a matter of days. Chicago is a nice place to visit, but Washington State is a nice place to live.

Ya, but it rains too much up there.

[John T.]

But whats the cost of living like in WA?

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

The weather in Washington almost made me want to jump off the space needle - with no parachute.

 

Seriously, if you LOVE the sun or are from somewhere where the sun shines ALOT, you'll have a hard time up there. I will say this though, it definitely hace some places up there that would be a great place to raise a family, lots of open space, beautiful scenery, Seattle is BY FAR the best large city I've ever been to, and I've been a lot of places in my life.

LOL James!

I spent the first 25 years off my life in socal, then 14 in Az.

Moving up here took some getting used to.

I recently asked the wife and kids if they wanted to go back to socal, and there was a resounding NO!

 

Hooda thunk?

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

[Zoober]

Oh, hey... I'm going to be in Wilsonville the week after next. Wanna grab a bite to eat?

[Zoober]

Ya. drop me an email when you know when. See my sig for it.

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

Ok, I will do that.

Cost of living is high compared to Indiana! I about had a heart attack when I saw what a house cost! We just tell everyone that it rains a lot so they don't move up here. It's more of a light sprinkle or mist. The first year I moved here it rained like 96 straight days and I almost picked up and moved to Bend, OR. But then I met the future Mrs. McCann and everything changed.

hey lived in s kali for some time and sure do miss the weather but depending on what ya like to do (stretch your arms, fire your arms, kill some fish or even hike a little.) ya cant beat the great northwest. this includes montana, idaho, washington and oregon.

they present some oportunities that only mother nature can create.

We are suffering the great shortage of skilled operators down here in New Zealand. The people we tend to end up with, just work for a wage, and dont care about the job.

 

As a result, we end up babysitting them through jobs. When a u-drill burns out due to the coolant level running low, they just shrug their shoulders...

 

Sounds like I should pack up and move to the US

[Thee Dragracer1951]

Well Mick, I just let two go for the same reason. They must have gone down there....

And no, don't bother sending them back

 

Come on up. We need a good shop manager.

[Mick]

WA sounds like a nice place Dont tempt me

[hansdeberlin]

Hey Mick!

I would take the first plane If I knew there is a CNC job opening in New Zealand. Program set and operate CNC Lathe, Machining center all manual machines.(30 years expeerience).

My daugther lives in Auckland and the country is soo beautiful

Regards, John

[Mick]

Yeah, but John, the pay is pretty poor compared to over there, thats for sure.

[Todd84]

I would take the pay cut to watch the All Blacks play in Auckland anyday.

 

[Mick]

Now you're talking

 

Actually, you;d enjoy it far better watching the All Blacks play in Christchurch. Christchurch is a far nicer city
