“I really had no idea what I wanted to do for a career, and I had never heard of a CNC Machinist before.
I just happened to be at a job fair where my company had a booth. I stopped by to ask about office jobs
since I could type, but as I was talking with their hiring person, I realized this was a job that paid more
and that I could do! It’s basically learning computer software so that you can run computer numerical control, CNC, equipment to move tools and machinery in a factory. I did have to get some training, both in a classroom and at work, but my company had a program that helped pay for that. I could work and get my certification at the same time. It’s really pretty amazing that I fell into a job that is so perfect for my skills.”
