lol. but when i got hired that was the only degree i had, along with my mechanical background. they liked me i guess. knowing how to nal an interview and dress correctly helped aswell. but after i was here for about 6 months, i took the exam to get into the Machinist Apprentice program. It was the quickest way to the top, so i took it and did very well. i once again had to go through another interview process, and the accepted me. they lower your pay to the lowest floor worker rate and send you to hvcc for another 2 yr degree. go to school for 4 days a week and train at work for one day. you have to maintain a b average nd graduate. and you also have to get signed off on a slew of machines at work, then they bring the rate back up to what the entry rate would be for a machinist, then you start your progression to the top rate (one rate every 6 months) while they watch your progress and quality of work. they didnt hire me to be a machinist dude. it was a long process.
That’s a pretty involved process, I didn’t realize it was so so complicated. I had a few people tell me they could hook me to there but nothing ever came of it. Most of us were just irked to be doing the same shit but paying for it I guess. :lol Jealousy is a bitch. Fuck it! I’m out of NY now anyways.
