How Did You Get Into CMM Programming?

I got a 2 year votech pedigree in CNC programming. Worked as CNC machinist in implantable medical at few places for 10years. Did all my own inspection and cnc set ups and not just an " operator ". Started a new machinist job after I moved across the state and applied for the opening in quality after I had been there about 10 days. I made a few enemies because the new guy go the cush job everyone else wanted. No one knew my background of course. We shared the prgramming job over the 3 quality people. Within a couple on months after my training and some on the job learning there was a mutiny and the other 2 wanted me gone because I was changing the existing programs. Well..... I was just fixing so the parts would actually check correctly and I kept a " before and After " printouts with detailed notes on what was wrong and how I fixed it. When they brought this up in a meeting I asked them to go through and point out what changes they were unhappy with and the boss just waited patiently for them to explain........ Crickets... So soon after that I all my other duties were removed and I took over programming all the jobs 100%. I did this for 12 years. I only " consult " and help out now at the same company but I am pretty much still involved all the time.
