Yes I'm living in Minnesota. What about you?

You can go full time if you want to  graduated in two year or part time. I was going school full time Monday-Thursday 8am-2pm, and work full time. The company I work for was paying my tuition.

Its mainly hand on experience, but you also have to take english, math, computer, blue print class and many more to graduated. Laos also have Technical college.

Many complain about low salary in Laos. It also depend if its high demand career. In America technical college graduated can make as much as someone with 4 year degree or more. I know  CNC Machinist who make $35-$40 an hour.

I don't make $35-$40 an hour. I'm just a CNC Technicians not CNC Programer. I think cost of living in Texas is cheaper then MN.

Company I work for make Hydra-Cell pump, gas, oil, water pump. CNC Machinist also work in medical and aerospace.

Numerical control (NC) refers to the automation of machine tools that are operated by abstractly programmed commands encoded on a storage medium, as opposed to manually controlled via handwheels or levers, or mechanically automated via cams alone. The first NC machines were built in the 1940s and 1950s, based on existing tools that were modified with motors that moved the controls to follow points fed into the system on punched tape. These early servomechanisms were rapidly augmented with analog and digital computers, creating the modern computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools that have revolutionized the machining processes.
In modern CNC systems, end-to-end component design is highly automated using computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) programs. The programs produce a computer file that is interpreted to extract the commands needed to operate a particular machine via a postprocessor, and then loaded into the CNC machines for production. Since any particular component might require the use of a number of different tools-drills, saws, etc., modern machines often combine multiple tools into a single "cell". In other cases, a number of different machines are used with an external controller and human or robotic operators that move the component from machine to machine. In either case, the complex series of steps needed to produce any part is highly automated and produces a part that closely matches the original CAD design.
