What Machinists Make:

Not only do machinists make great money, but they also do really interesting work.  They make everything from the rims on custom bikes to very precise aerospace parts to molds for things like sunglasses, and more.  Almost every product consumers use have been touched by a machinist in some way.

In Weber county, the average wage for manufacturing workers is 40% higher than the national average, or $1,051 more per month. Machining is a highly skilled profession that offers great working conditions, excellent pay, yet does not require a four-year degree. Local employers are anxious to hire new OWATC graduates.
