@C_3C_3@TheLastRefuge2 1) I work at a small aerospace manufacturing company specializing in rapid turn prototype tooling.
We need people!
As a college alternative, expose your children to mfg whether it be electronics, welding, or CNC programming.
All are great paying jobs at $30 - $40 per hour.
@C_3C_3@TheLastRefuge2 2) These jobs are all obtainable in a fraction of the time one spends earning a degree - often not worth the paper it's printed on.
This is a CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine). I've been programming and running one since I left Nuclear subs and now make 6 figures - no degree!
@C_3C_3@TheLastRefuge2 3) The probe (lower right) rotates from 0 to 105 deg and articulates 360 deg around.
It's fully programmable from a solid 3D model. 6 probe touches by me then the machine takes over.
It's accuracy is about. 00006 linearly and .0009 though out it's volume.
Show your kids!
@C_3C_3@TheLastRefuge2 4) If I remember, I will do a video of my machine to show your kids.
We need their help in aerospace!
We do welding as well. We made 3 of these in under 4 weeks from the time we ordered the material. We have only 35 employees but need more!
@C_3C_3@TheLastRefuge2 PS.... For those of you asking, I'm in the last refuge of Normalville SoCal, but I'm currently on my exit plan to get the hell outta this insanity within 2 years.
So, I may be looking to you folks who reside in Normalville for a job.
@C_3C_3@TheLastRefuge2 Due to overwhelming responses on this thread, I will provide multiple videos from our small company tomorrow, inluding CNC machining, CMM inspection, and electrical test equip.
I hope I can open a lot of eyes for our youth and our military transitioning back to civilian life.
