I think you underestimate the amount of people with high school education doing very precise, skilled work right now. Do you think skilled machines tend to have PHds or even bachelors?

Im not saying its as simple as CNC. I am saying that I doubt you need an IQ of 130 or a PHD. Start investing in the people whose labor were undercut. In fact a skilled machinist or technician seems like a much closer match (in terms of skill and willingness to do the job) than some with an electrical engineering PHD or something.



Skilled machinists?


It takes education and practice to take a CAD model or technical drawings and run the machines to produce it.


Sorry, I was just trying to clarify what "skilled machines" meant. I think they meant "skilled machinists"?
