Work life balance
EDIT* (adding to post)
Have the possibility to move to TN hopefully at the end of the year, anyone here know any shops around there and what they’re like? Ive only learning has lathes and probably going to run a DN Solutions 5axis millwright this year that my shop is trying to get but I want to move where it’s cheaper so looking for input on the area cause I don’t want to change careers unless this shop burns the love out of it for me.
Idk if it’s cause I’m now at an aerospace shop, where I learned that my last two shops weren’t really making me a machinist, but damn how do you guys do this. I’m on year 8 of this industry- sheet metal (5 years) machining (3 years) and since being at this company I haven’t worked less than 50 hours a week. Don’t get me wrong the pay is not bad but damn the stress of aerospace and not being home to see my kids is starting to get to me and I’m only 30. How do you guys do this as a career? I feel like I’m already burning out.
