Been there, done that. Most machinists here starting out at a company, reguardless of years of exp. make less than $16.50. I tell companies that wanted to hire me I need $15 minimum and I never hear back from them. I'm not rude about how I say it... just the economy i guess... less jobs and employers have the pick of the litter. That is until the economy pics up and their "pick of the litter" goes and gets a better paying job elsewhere.
