I spent five years being in the photography business, I realized that it was time for a change. Every year my business was decreasing, and I could barely make enough to properly take care of my family. I waited as long as I could before deciding to give up the business. My best friend owns a small machinist shop and he said that he needed help and the position was mine if I wanted it. He said that there was some online mechanical training courses that I needed to complete before starting the position. When he told me that the courses would be paid for by the company, I could not turn him down.
