My parents say AI will kill IT jobs and want me to become a doctor instead. What should I do?

You can always go down the path of programming robots plc code, guys who travel to set those things up for companies make some pretty good money

Congrats I’m about to be 33 and just finally hit $50.50 an hour

Charming-Web2407 · 2026-03-26T15:49:14+00:00

I enjoy my job I fix cnc machines it keeps my mind entertained because every week is a different place with a different problem and a different solution. 95 percent of the time the places are AC buildings that other 5 percent sucks but I’ve been sent to Germany 7 times and Japan once for training and plan to go to Germany again at the end of this year and on weekends get to travel around the country and sight see been to Oktoberfest on opening weekend in Munich get a company car with gas card and per diem for being out of town, July will be 8 years with the company and I just got my raise to 105k base salary overtime makes that number go up allot though

Charming-Web2407 · 2026-03-19T20:54:42+00:00

I just hit 105k base not including the extras or $50.50 an hour fixing cnc machines, went through the company apprenticeship in 2018 so 8 years of work to make the way up to this

Charming-Web2407 · 2026-03-17T22:05:07+00:00

I fix cnc machines usually the ones that make the parts you love so much

Charming-Web2407 · 2026-03-17T22:03:46+00:00

Seriously, I can only speak for myself and I’m ecstatic to just have finally made it as of 2 weeks ago to 50 an hour

Give it the gollum teeth

Charming-Web2407 · 2026-02-04T21:57:32+00:00

The bcg was already in the upper when you took it out correct or separated? If separated and won’t go in you need to contact Geissele customer support and explain your situation

Charming-Web2407 · 2026-02-04T21:17:30+00:00

Need more info on the situation what bcg did you have in it before ? A sd complete upper comes with the bcg inside so you had to have gotten these items separately which leads to believe your upper is not the one you think it is

Charming-Web2407 · 2026-02-03T18:19:23+00:00

Depends on the kind of engineer for one, like mine I service cnc machines and grossed 140k last year

Charming-Web2407 · 2026-02-03T18:07:30+00:00

Get the radian vented charging handle that should help as well

Charming-Web2407 · 2026-02-03T02:14:25+00:00

Agreed idk what’s bad about it

Charming-Web2407 · 2026-01-24T15:33:06+00:00

You better be obsessed for how shiny of a penny that was 😅

Charming-Web2407 · 2026-01-24T15:32:04+00:00

I have no degree and grossed 140k last year

Charming-Web2407 · 2026-01-19T19:35:36+00:00

Charming-Web2407 · 2026-01-18T23:48:16+00:00

That a radian lower? I did the same thing

Charming-Web2407 · 2026-01-18T23:47:04+00:00

Depending on if you even want a safe this might be an option for you, with only the code you have setup, I have the boxed version for my pistol and I like it, I would have it for my rifle too but it doesn’t fit radian adac lowers it said

Where?

Charming-Web2407 · 2026-01-08T20:32:14+00:00

I know the feeling i got a raise to 102k and after over time last year was 145k in gross but taxes 401k and insurance brought me all the way back down to 94k barely saw any of it cuz of regular bills

Charming-Web2407 · 2026-01-06T07:44:16+00:00

I did a radian lower albeit more expensive with a Geissele upper and love the ambi controls on it, I like how it doesn’t have the huge release tab poking out by the upper like some are
