Welcome Mystie!
Do you have any manual machining background at all? Maybe it's just me but the most important thing to learn is machining fundamentals!!!! it's key to programming and seting up parts to run!
Lot's is getting lost in the world of CAM. Almost everyone thinks they are machinists when they are driving machines with little or no hands on experience.
Not to through a wrench in the gears or anything but look around in the manual machining threads as well, and see what problems people are running into and have an idea of what to expect.
It's a fun Job, but most of the real fun is problem solving on really challenging jobs. These seldom go right the first time, and it's the smart guys that take someting away from every job they do and continue to learn every day that they walk into the shop.
Good Luck!
