Perhaps if you sit some more…

I have a number of concerns with CSU Ft. Collins. I know people who transferred to Billings because FtC was losing accreditation in some majors. (This was years ago.)

FRCC only offers machining in Boulder Co. Welding (only mentioned because that’s what this tread is about) is offered in Larimer though.

I know of several job opportunities today in the northern part of the Front Range that need toolpath programming.

The kid built a CNC router for his HS FRC/FTC club as an Eagle Scout project, then ended up at Mines.

p.s. We have 100 series product now.

Do you weld?

Good welding requires intense focus/nondistractions, which some people on the spectrum really enjoy.

2,000 hours / year (straight time, 10 paid days PTO), $35/hour is $70k base.

I own Netgate (hat tip to the haters who will comment), the company that does pfsense and tsnr.

I also own Bump It Offroad in Windsor, CO. We do some CNC (plasma table) as well. I pay welders about $70k/year plus benefits, to start. They’re both college drop-outs, but smart and willing to learn.

Though I grew up in the trades, it’s not about “dues” for me, but more work ethic and willingness to learn.

"Beyond a reasonable doubt" is the legal standard in criminal cases. "Preponderance of the evidence" is the standard in civil cases.

“Hyperthreading” is a write pipe hack.

If the core stalls on a write then the other thread gets run.
