Wow. It sucks to be a kid. When I was a kid, times were as hard as this, and it took a long time to get better- what was it guys? from '72-73? in to the late 80's? To some it never ended... I am suspicious of a shop offering you X dollars for X time, even a union program--- sounds like a military recruiter, strings attached or something they ain't telling you. Heck nowdays, paying off student loans in the 6 digits sounds like a bad joke, but if they can help you with funding and work it off..... Is the college close enough to live at home? -get a part time job somewhere close? One thing is a good bet, the college will be there in 4 years, that shop may not be, the old crew might be jumpin' ship... and, safe to say, the 4 year degree can land you jobs in other fields, incase machining dies altogether.. Trouble is the shop/ journeyman thing- if it dies, is just one more line on a resume, the degree is an expensive pain... but... in the long run, machining, metalworking, mechanical engineering, all related fields, not just a limited union ticket.... keep us informed of what you dig up. Good luck. Yep. It sucks to be a kid.
