Machine Shop TechnologyI will admit this was my first exposure to the written word on the machines and machining. As it was my high school text book, at the cooperative high school I went to. We got the academics of a regular school in two weeks a month, and spent the other two weeks in the shop classes of the area we choose as a career path direction. We had two student bodies shift A and shift B.
After 3 semesters if they thought you were qualified, you got a job in industrial at the prevailing wage rates for helpers or beginners. Which was a lot more that bagging stuff at the local food mart. But enough of history!
