Turned down a $22/hr warehouse gig in Columbus for a $16/hr shop job and I'd do it again
Every dude on my crew said take the money, but the shop had me running a CNC within 4 months and now I pull $28 doing setup work. Curious if anyone else picked the lower check for the skill and had it actually pay off?

Watched my brother do almost the same thing back in 2019, took the smaller check at a machine shop over a better paying delivery job and everyone told him he was nuts. Fast forward and he's the guy they call when a machine goes down, making way more than that delivery money ever would have paid. Used to be I would have told you to grab the cash and run, that loyalty to a shop gets you nothing. Seeing him learn a real trade changed my mind on that. Skills stack up over time, a paycheck just stays the same size (or gets smaller once you factor in inflation, which nobody ever wants to talk about).
