My 16 year old grandson was just hired by my employer as my paid ($15 an hour) assistant for the summer, and possibly into the school year. He is working his ass off to get ahead with college. He has finished all his high school senior requirements except gym an is taking college chemistry and statics over the summer. The goal is to get two free years of college while in high school and finish his 4 year degree in just two more years. He has a 3.94 GPA so far.
So he will be working with me Tuesday, Thursday, and Fridays. We are rebuilding automation from china currently and will be designing and building some new automation in the fall. He already knows how to use AutoCad, SolidWorks and a basic cam program and can run a CNC mill. A big CNC drilling machine with 16 spindles arrived today. We will be be building the control system for it because it doesn't do any coordinated motion, just X and Z, step and drill and we want a recipe system for programming our products.
I have SO been looking forward to this! All because I lost my job and took a new one with no travel.
