I started out four years ago as just a machine operator and I dont think i ever saw a machine shop before then. Since then I went from a supervisor, and I was the in house screw specialist and it was the only CNC we didn't have a mastercam post processor for so I did all programming manually. Now I'm a tool maker in a different division with only manual machines. I miss the CNC's but I've learned a lot. I love working with CNC's but to take an oppurtunity within your same company and make more $$...well enough said.
