OT: New Yob!, I'm excited! Options

[BMXerror]

Well, one more week destroying boxes for UPS and then it's off into the wonderful world of machining. I just got a job at Penco Precision in Fontana, CA. They are a low production, high precision job shop that does parts MOSTLY for the aerospace and medical industries. I've been going to school for the past year learning the trade, as neither I nor anyone in my family have any machining background. This new job will pay okay to start, and they will train me and I'll be able to move up to a pretty good living eventually. (can anyone say CNC programmer?) They also have medical benefits and paid time off yada yada yada..., and my shop foreman seems like a really easy guy to work with. I'll also learn to work with Titanium alloys and Inconels, which could be very helpful in the future.
This is a big boost for me because it's something that I decided to go for with no influence from anyone else. I'm starting to see results of what I can accomplish on my own. Of course, it doesn't end with machining. I want to immediately go for my Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering, so I'll basically be going to school for the rest of my life (or so it feels like right now). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I have no idea when I'm going to have time to play with my 914, but I'll make time. The only regret I have is that I didn't start this sooner.
Now I know how Brando felt a few months back. How's the new job workin out so far Brando?
