[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1428855, member: 18945"] TG, lots of industry down here has OtJT and internships, where prospective full time employees get trained and paid while getting trained. I know Exxon does it, canvassing high school seniors for people that want to work in the Baytown refineries, tho I think nowadays, they look more at people with 2 years of community college. I went from a diesel mechanic to machinist by taking a job at a machine shop in the 90s when the oilfield went kapuut. I'd never seen a CNC the day I talked my way into that job, but was honest and up front about that fact. Like you said tho, the prospective employee has to be willing to do the training and learn. Convince the employer you can and want to, and you're 1/2 way there. Too many want to just walk right in and be making the big $ without having the training or getting some experience under their belts. [/QUOTE]
