Educational Career Training School

Some folks go to machinist school for career training. Other folks go to machinist school because they like to make things. Sometimes women go to machinist school because the trade is male dominated. (Either they want to meet guys or to show folks they can do what the guys do.) Other people go to machinist school because their parents say "Either move out or go to school." (They figure machinist school is an easier or more fun education than accounting.)
At least once, a hispanic political activist went to machinist school in hopes of finding discrimination against hispanics. (Instead he learned a trade!) Others go to machinist school because of a free opportunity - they got a scholarship, they got laid off at work and the unemployment office is sending them to school, they are in some kind of disadvantaged (disabled, minority, etc) status that receives educational benefits, or maybe they are using veterans educational benefits. Another group is the offspring of machinists, going to school to follow the trade of their ancestors. If you want to learn to be a machinist (person that makes things using machine tools) you might go to a machinist school.
