Manufacturers Can’t Fill Skilled Positions

I totally agree. But just like the farmer people who can still actually do something have to come back around at some point. Farmers are going to control the world someday. We will always need food to eat and there will always be a need to have things made. China crap just gets worse on a daily basis and something people only need one of something made not 1000's or millions.

The key element I see if the guy like your self that can learn technology and use it smartly to build things like they should be done. How many guys have CNC equipment but don't know how to make anything really advanced. Not just a guy who can take a design and put it in master cam and get the machine speeds figured out for Ok results.

There is no passion for quality of work anymore. No body has the time to do something right. Heck they sell Chinese made fence panels at Lowes now. They are thin crappy wood that will fall apart like everything else. Have you tried to buy a nice oscillating fan laterly? They are all junk.

The American lifestyle will be the beginning of the end for our existance. Very few people can tell quality let alone be willing to pay for it any more.
