Check out your local College,or stop by a local machine shop and ask!
Many people call,fax,email and somtimes that will work but nothing beats a face to face! Here in So. Calif. speaking english(no joke) helps. Go out and make some noise,squeaky wheel gets the grease. Shops like to see motivated
people. GOOD LUCK!

Be careful what kind of mechinist you become. Some get no respect and don't get paid shit. My buddy was shop forman for Rex Hutchinson Racing engines after being his mechinist for many years. He got paid chump change.
He quit and went out on his own because of the low pay.
HCS hit the nail on the head ! BUT ! I will say this , It makes for great play
or HOBBY TIME!

Well maybe he shoulda tried being a machinist instead of a mechinist..
But to agree with what HCS said.. The market is pretty whored out, and machinists don't make nearly as much as they should.

Wow...LMAO, maybe in boat parts. Depending on who you work for, its an awesome trade. My family dates back 4 generations cutting metal. My brother and I are the first generation born here to continue the family business. You really have to be quite educated these day to make a decent living, especially if you want to live in s.cal. I would suggest starting out here http://www.trainingcenters.org/. You can do very well for yourself in this industry if you put put your BRAIN into it!! Like anything else, you must really apply yourself....its up to you how much money you make.
mechinest....thats my so. cal accent see what I mean about english!
I'v been here to long
