The best CNC machinists are the old ones that were formally trained on manual equipment.
Been in it since 1978 and had 3 years of it in grade school before that. Became full time programmer in 1990. Nowadays, I run prototypes where I have full control over ordering stock, tooling, and make the parts myself in the best way I see fit with the machines we have.
I wish I had a Wire EDM with 5 axis in the barn. Just don't have the 150 grand needed to buy one. Slow, but sure.
