Education in this country is screwed

[minestrone]

First CNC lathe I worked with was programmed through the BBC micro, it is probably not that much more advanced now.

But yes, I was wanting to do a digital design course recently, could not find anything.

usually local collages only offer courses suitable for the demographic of your region

there in the business to make money, and if painting nails is all that interests the local then so be it.

The skilled workers left anyhow.

Not to mention most locals do not speak english very well - the country so slowly turning into a huge bus station

Plenty of places do courses like that
eg

Apprenticeship Programs | Fanshawe College

Just need a college that does apprenticeship courses.

I've decided I fancy doing an adult education course, learning how to use CNC machines for milling & turning metal.

So I had a look on my local council website. I can get courses in crystal healing, applying make up, nail art and facial skincare. I can study ballroom dancing or christmas flower arranging. But I can't even learn how to use hand tools, never mind a ******* lathe.

Keep looking chuck, something will turn up

Anyway, is there actually anything to learn now about CNC? Do you not just pass the machine the drawing and what the material is and it works out all the cuts and stuff for you? You just have to keep the bits sharp.

I dunno but that was the predictions of how it would all hang together last time I was working on it.

Pun of the day.
