      CNC. the world needs parts.
      and Gcode is pretty much a universal language.

      there’s a 1000 applications, you get to make shit out of variety of materials, and the software and machine does most of it for you.

      can recommend

      I don’t think that a job that is going to eventually destroy your body can really be considered ‘good’.

        that entire depends on the nature of the work. not every plumber is doing back breaking work, and as you get older you’ll have younger people under you to do that stuff for you.
