Mainly for the OG's

Just curious...

If you are willing, I'd like to get an idea on something. I am wondering what the CMM Programmer pay range is nowadays. People who are willing, what is your location, pay and experience? I am nearly finished with an Engineering degree and just want to be sure I want to stay a CMM Programmer or move into an Engineering type role...

Thank you everyone in advance!

  • Lets just face it boys. Manufacturing pays $ H ! T

    Yeah, I don't think any of us are getting rich doing this. What concerns me is that I haven't really seen wages go up much in this line of work. Minimum wage in my state has gone up almost 50% in the past 5 years. I can't say I have seen any increase in my earning potential over that same time period.

    You never will. THOSE of us that are 'skilled' workers are being screwed by any increase in the minimum wage since we are making more than minimum, we see no increase.
    (bogus numbers used in this example)
    If minimum wage was $10/hour and we made $20/hour due to our willingness to WORK at learning more to earn more, and they raise minimum wage to $15/hour, then we have LOST a substantial amount of our buying power as the cost of goods & services WILL go up with that increase in minimum wage, thus taking a bigger bite out of OUR paychecks when we need those goods or services. Every time they increase minimum wage, we lose.
