Arkansas Machinst School .........NTI.............. The Ability to Get Things Done


College is great. A well-rounded education is great. But sometimes a manager can't find a job. One the other hand, a plumber, a machinist, an electrician, a welder ..... they can always find work at above-average wages.
Imagine calling a plumber to unstop your commode. Do you want the plumber to engage you with lively, well-rounded conversation about Shakespeare and global warming OR would you prefer the individual to focus on the task at hand?
A lot of times, we don't want a well-rounded person. We want a specialist who is willing and able to do the job right now, properly. That's what technical school is all about!
Machinists use lathes, mills, grinders, drills and laser beams to make things - nails, parts for the space shuttle, medical equipment, jewelry, artificial knees - all kinds of things.
If you think paper is for writing on, go be an accountant. If you think paper is for making paper airplanes, maybe machining is for you!

Oh, no! I'm not the first comment! I thought your arguments for tech school training were penetrating and right!

Just think .... if one was 75 years old and planning to live to be 85 .... going to machinist school for a year would still leave 9 great years of machining!

ps. thanx Oh, no! and NTI rocks!

I am a veteran of about 12-13 semesters at nti and have always had a good time, that is, until the jig borer went away. Friendly, helpful staff/facility, great lighting, convenient after a day's work in Fayetteville. And it's only 21 stop lights from Siloam

Maybe you could use a lathe with a pad at the tailstock?
Did you make a blog?
Quack, Quack!
