Switch jobs… like every two years. Do that for about 6-10 years until you feel like you know exactly what kind of shop you want to work for and how much money you want to make. Never take a paycut, always sell yourself and then learn as you go (every shop is different in machines/processes/materials/etc) Make sure to ask in the job interview how well they train.
A lot of people go there to drink/party/gamble before they commit suicide. It’s almost never on the news because the casinos pay the police department to not let it get public due to bad publicity. The Las Vegas police department is probably the best funded police department in the nation due to this.
Worked somewhere that I was running 3 tsugami Swiss machines and literally came in everyday to crashed machines and bad parts. Not trying to be a “one upper” by any means, but it’s literally the worst way to start a shift, especially when you have your own process dialed in and other machinists only care about a paycheck. Most places won’t even fire people these days as long as they show up and act like they give a damn.
Coney Island hot dogs, buddy’s pizza, some place that is know for a good pastie and faygo pop (particularly rock and rye) should definitely be on your list of things to try.
First shop I worked at was mainly HAAS/Fanuc, the haas required warm up programs in the winter due to the shop being so cold. I’ve “crashed” a machine due to not knowing whether or not it was warmed up, but I was also super green to the job at the time.
