Machining is dying a horrible, slow death in australia. I went breakdown fitter after a few years as an apprentice in a CNC shop.
More interesting and pays HEAPS better, with phone/car/fuel card etc. Deffinately dirtier. And I hurt my back doing it too so theres that (big mx/dj crashes mixed with physical job. Not entirely jobs fault, but it doesn’t help hahaha).
Now going through a early adult crisis of wtf do I do once my backs sorted........ keep swinging spanners or back to study/career change?
