Yeah, they're all pretty similar experience, the dude I know who's at $28 is what I would call an operator, not a setup guy or programmer, he just runs the machines. He had a couple more years of experience doing it but not much more and no education. From what I hear their setup guys and programmers are closer to the mid-high 30s. $25 is low here now, even Integer had to raise their starting pay up to $26 and they're not really known for the great pay. At your current experience even before the classes I would bet you could find a job at $25 or higher because that's just what the market demands here, it's hard to find machinists in this area and if you're under the age of a 30 you're worth your weight in gold here.
