I suggest going the learn yourself route. Get a job as a machine shop helper, parts loader or something. Keep your eyes open, work steadily, listen to people, read books, think about your questions and see if you can find answers yourself before asking people. It does not matter what machinist class you go to you will have to spend quite a while get real experience. If you start in a shop you can to some extent overlap the experience and the learning. Some time in the future you will probably want to go and get some proper book learning if only to counter all the contradictory nonsense you will get from some of the 'old hands'. But by then you will have enough background you will be able to select suitable courses and do it in a concentrated manner at night school and part time.
And move West Young Man as they used to say decades ago
. There are plenty of vacancies out here and the weather is nicer.
