About what I'll make this year as a CNC machinist. And at least I'm making tangible and useful objects for jet engines and rockets (space, not war). A lot of those C suite executives do jack shit for humanity and get paid more in a week than I make actually working all year.
What's it like to get in that line of business? Some sort of schooling needed?
You could maybe get a mechanical engineering degree, but CNC machining is pretty specialized, so a college curriculum might not be all that relevant. There are apprenticeship programs for that kind of thing though
