I started in trade school as a machinist, then was a mold maker for 30 years. I had my own business for 18 years. At one time mold shops were so plentiful, that if you didn"t like working one place, you just rolled your tool box next door and went to work. Very little machinist and moldmaking work is left in this country. Now I work as a loan officer for a mortgage company. I stay alive, but the work is hardly fullfilling. My brother on the other hand was a diesel mechanic for years, now working for Northwest Airlines. Alot of the work he was doing is now also going overseas. The rebuild work of generators, etc. I have another brother who started as a welder in manufacturing, until most of the work was relegated to jig and fixture welding, where they took kids out of school, and paid them minimum wage. Now alot of that has also gone overseas. So, my advise is to stay away from both trades and get a job at Walmart as a greeter...
