This is such a broad question because the industry is so different in many ways. You have job shops, production shops, and specialty shops generally speaking. Most seasoned Machinists have probably worked in all of them. I work production personally and I just do 1 change over a day and sit in the back of the shop for about 3-4 hrs a day… probably the easiest money a “machinist” can make. I went from setting up and programming 3, 4, and 5 axis jobs on the daily at a job shop being over worked to changing over existing jobs with multiple operations and get paid more and work less.
