Machinist/programmer lookign to change

[Reverend Turk]

I am a machinist/programmer at a model shop for the Air Force. I may be losing my job ann was wondering how I could get into just the design/programming aspect. I know my strong point is programming as I pick it up quick.

 

I forgot everything my reseller taught me after an accident kept me out of work for some time. After coming back I had to relearn it all on my own and have pretty good so far if I may say so.

 

Sooo..IF I do end up losing my job..any suggestions on how to find a mastercam based shop locally that I can get into and learn as I go but stay in the programming aspect of the business?

Are they cutting back there I thought our leader was going to create jobs not take them away.

[Reverend Turk]

There have been some issues here recently and I may be xxxx out. And yes..our fearless leader is supposed to be creating jobs...but we shall see.

Turk , shops in dayton have lowed down and in the past Mastercam was more prominent on the north end of dayton heading up to reseller in Findley. They did use Mastercam at voc-tech school in Springfield (Greencounty )so there maybe lots of it that way...my info is a decade old...maybe as a part-timer as people get layed-off and shops are temp. short handed to get in the door.

[Reverend Turk]

Thanks Kev...if anyone has further info please let me know. Also, Todd..I know you are out there..if you know of anything please keep me in mind.

Maybe talking to a reseller might get you some leads. There's always the possibility that someone purchasing a seat for the first time could also use a good programmer.

Turk, would you consider Cincinnati? I will keep my ears open for that may come up.

Your "Local Mastercam Reseller" is definitely a good lead.

 

Maybe even a job opportunity in itself.

 

Good luck Turk.

I would be ok with Cinci.
