Looking for best machinist schools in usa

[MIEST]

Hi,
Im 17 and in my last year of high school I really need to find some schools to look at for machining. I live in Minnesota so within 500 miles of Minnesota would be nice but I am willing to go further if I have to. I would like to find a school that can teach me most if not everything involved with machining this means programming running and everything in between. My goal eventually would be to have my own shop with a cnc machine and the other basics to run my own. So any advice on schools or what I should do to try to get to this point would be much appreciated.

Thanks for any help

i am 37 and have a job in engeneering for a forgeing company, i do a lot of cnc programming. where every you go try to do a Internship for a small shop, i did this and learned more there than school. but you have to finish your school to get most of the good job. in this job you will always be learning, thing change all the time and there is always somthing new. it is great!! km8137
