M34 I went to school to be a CNC machinist. 6 months of trade school and then I got an associates degree at the local community college. Did well at both so expected to do well in the trade. I don't. I try really hard, and I know my stuff but I don't think I have the patience, attention span or meticulous attention to detail required of someone in this trade. As much as I like being in machine shops, I am not finding prolonged success in this trade. Two jobs in 3 years and I'm currently looking for another because I make mistakes that seem so small, but its so easy to mess up big in this.

I feel pressed, I have a family to support and can't just be out of work. But I'm slowly coming to terms with the painful fact that I suck at this. But idk what else to do. Before school I just worked poop production jobs churning out parts and product or on an assembly line. I really don't wanna do that again sweet Lord. I feel like I've screwed myself and as I sit in bed looking at indeed I really don't know where to go from here.
