It takes time. If you're that concerned about it call your congressman. Expecting the VA to live up to any of their timelines is a recipe for anxiety.

Got a class research trip coming up. Teacher gives us some brief guidelines based on some of the stuff that has happened in years past. 1. The hot tub next to the owners house is not for your use. That's why there is a fence around it. 2. Don't take muddy water out of a puddle and pour it on the rocks in the sauna. 3. Don't pee on the rocks in the sauna. Sounds like a military trip without the inevitable sexual assault.

Another company at my client site just replaced their gopher, who had a BS in Biology. The job is mostly setting up exhibits, manning the stock room for said exhibits and generic, menial office work. It pays roughly 17 bucks an hour, and it's non exempt. It is not a scientific job. They got 1300 applications over 3 days, of which the majority were in grad school or actually had their graduate degrees. They auto screened out anybody that didn't have a bachelors degree and at least a year of work experience. They ended up getting someone who will have an MPH in May with four years of hospital admin work. Do more internships.

Luckily disability will boost my income out of the gutter some biologist got a masters to inhabit. Also according to my Trump-bro Shep my pension will be enough to bankrupt entire states.

The thing that cracks me up the most about the whole situation is that it was very, very clearly stated in the posting that this job was not a scientific one, it just said it was for a government health agency in the DoD. It had multiple lines stating that you are not a SME, etc. During the interview they also explained that, in addition to saying that it was most assuredly an hourly office monkey job, that it has literally zero upward mobility and would get a quarter an hour raise per year. Aside from rooting out the poors, the idea was that if you had a bachelors in ~something~ that you had to take some sort of science classes, so explaining the content of the materials you're exhibiting shouldn't be that hard. That's it. From what I was told, not a single applicant blinked at it. dafuq

I think I want to learn CAD/CAM and CNC machining stuff. I really hate school and would love to get training in a field that pays well. But I know no one in that industry and have 0 experience. Still would rather that than a Business Management Information Systems degree. Companies aren't gonna hire my old rear end for entry level jobs and they sure aren't gonna hire me for higher up jobs with no experience and being old. I'm told there's a severe shortage of qualified CNC guys and dudes doing CAD/CAM though and my age wouldn't be nearly as big an issue as it would be in the white collar world. I'm not smart enough to be an engineer but machinist seems within reach. I can learn trig.

But I know no one in that industry and have 0 experience. I have a family member that's been a machinist for like uh, I dunno 50 years or something. He trains new guys all the time - most of them wash out because they can't 1) stay clean 2) don't have two brain cells to rub together or 3) don't want to actually learn It's a pretty cool profession.

Don't set out to be a "CNC machinist" if you want to make any money at all. "CNC machinists" more often than not are actually "operators," which involves a lot of watching tools stir coolant and not much analytical thought. By the nature of their job, CNC operators will dwindle as the robots they are assigned to monitor get better at monitoring themselves. CAD/CAM guys are usually called something different, and those jobs too are getting assigned more to engineers as the machines get vastly more capable and complicated. In my opinion, and I am aware that some people more qualified than me would disagree, the only sustainable machining career after 2020 is in small-lot and custom work, which relies on a broad knowledge base and rewards flexibility. Even for small-lot or one-off work CNC programming and setup is an essential skill*, but that alone won't get you very far. *There are always exceptions. Most auto shops don't use CNC anything. e: My opinion may be faintly colored by an aesthetic bias against CNC machining, but I think I gave the question a fair shake here. Eugene V.
