Is there a "best type" of machinist? Is one type of machinist more in demand than others?

And have endless opportunities. You could become the owner of a business that provides such services.

One of my best friends started a machine shop when he was 20. Made millions. Although he died at 62 after he had sold out. From stress.

Work hard. Be a sponge as for as knowledge goes. Provide a good, consistent service. But take some time off to smell the rose.

You can’t fail.

My son is getting a degree in Industrial Technology dealing with parts designing. I know next to nothing about the trades. Any info on job types/salaries or work environment would be greatly appreciated.

He’s intelligent and learns quickly. He was accepted into engineering at LSU and La Tech but chose this route instead.
