Hey Titan, I'm 25 and you inspired me to get into machining and I got my first job at a machine shop today and I'll be starting work on Thursday. I'm so excited to get started on my journey in American manufacturing. BOOM!!
Titan it shows you really love your workers, and are very proud of them. Great job top notch employer Making America (And Machining) Great Again. Bravo~
I've been working for my current company for about a year now, and there are many millennials as well as old timers. I was hired to run 4 axis mills with absolutely no experience in cnc. Only thing I knew was gcode from 3d printing as a hobby and basic processes from running manual machines. When I started, everyone doubted that this 18 year old kid would do anything besides run production parts; which brings me to today. I have brought a new perspective to how things are run. I was the first person to bring 4 axis simultaneous milling into play. When I started, I was just an operator. Hate to say it, but I may be considered a machinist now. Have ran a handful of complex custom v-blocks and many other random parts from cutting stock to planning, choosing tooling, grinding tooling, programming, and inspection Everyone doubts millennials, but if you give us freedom, we will not disappoint; took me less than a year to learn a massive amount of a trade. Why? The passion and satisfaction to see something I made affect people worldwide. BOOM. Ps- it's still necessary for me to take a cnc class as part of my degree, so you should definitely visit up here in st louis next semester! This channel has helped me alot, and I'm sure guys that are just starting off would develop a drive after seeing your passion for this industry
Your mission and the insights of your employees I believe will change the world. Thanks for your hard work and thank your employees for their thoughtful words. They give me great optimism for the future of this country and the world.
Awesome segment. I’m glad you made a case for the largest generation since the baby boomers. They have incredible challenges ahead of them- they need our support and encouragement. Thanks for calling this out.
It's so good to see the age spread in the company, and that's clearly reflected in the Academy too. Without enabling the youth of today to help make this planet better, to be creators, we are all destined for failure. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is learning a trade. Sending my best wishes to everyone taking part in this course for your greatest successes, whether you 8 years old or 80 years old, enjoy the journey.
Hi Titan I’m a machinist but trying to join the top machining elite so must learn more everyday, you inspired me to strive for bigger and better places. I was born and raised in that far eastern corner of Africa where Indian Ocean and Red Sea meet but currently working in Scotland. Thanks Man BOOM!
Well I'm actually a 16 y/o female machinist (and I consider myself a millennial even though some don't) but I love my job and hope to make it my career when I graduate high school :)
Hardest part of the machine world is its all old timers that hold us millennials back. Im 30 and work for a high end machine shop but they think were all idiots and we need 15 years of experince to know anything.... its annoying. Hopefully those old timers whatch this video. Great content btw.
If only they would watch some of titans videos, it would open their eyes to what is possible, but they’re not interested as they think they know it all. We just need to be patient and our time will come.
So true. As a lead CNC Programmer all my managers have been between 55-65 years old. They don't respect any of my opinions of new technology. They always want to stick to what they know... Old school Cobalt 🌽 cob cutters for milling steel.. for example. Running 1 part at a time in a CNC Machine instead of multiple... A big company just bought is out and a the changes I suggested they are making those changes now... But the manager is trying to take all the credit when I been telling him for a few years now
ls1camaro867hp your absolutely right. I had a internship with Lockheed Martin this summer and the first month and a half was all manual and surface grinding. I won a national CNC programming competition and after that I had my own desk, mill, and fat stack of prints to mill. It is understandable that they are cautious with the parts they make but it has been like this at every smaller shop I’ve worked too. We need freedom! Lol. I’m a 19 yo college student btw. After winning they were actually super open to teaching me everything I wanted and challenging me but I don’t think you should have to go to that extent before anywhere even lets you button push!
The attitude that CNC is too complicated to be useful is pretty common, I even spoke to a 35 year old guy working at a local factory in the tool room say they have some kind of haas toolroom CNC mill that they don't ever even use. I was pretty concerned after hearing that, there's no reason not to use something computer controlled, the learning curve would take a little while for the older guys but it's completely reasonable. It only took my dad a few months to learn to use his tablet and then he was watching youtube videos every morning with his coffee.
33 years of age, elder millennial. Been climbing this mounting for 17 years. Almost at the top but the summit has been blocked by a lot of the older generation who are not willing to embrace the future.
I read statements continually like this. What is the pasts incentive to embrace the future? Embrace as in welcome with arms wide open as if you are their savior. Remember you arnt there to cure the past. Everything that was made until you: they did without you. That is a significant amount of work and accomplishment. So instead of walking in asking to be elevated on a pedestal simply based on your youth. Prove you need to be there with your contribution to the work. Why would someone give up a life time of that proof to you overnight? If they did; they are idiots. If they are idiots; do you want to be there as king of the idiots? Or do you want to be with people who are truly great? If you do; accept they arnt just going to hand over the scepter; you have to earn it. The problem in my experience is millenials don't want to make the effort to earn it. They expect it with no effort and that is the real problem. At 37 myself I'm not giving anyone anything. If they want to earn it then by all means we want to help. Its not worth our time to invest in someone who isn't going to work hard enough to take some of the load and responsibility. There is no free lunch, there never was for them and they arnt giving you theirs. This whole problem is really simple.
18:20 Oh Titan, you speak out of our heart! I`m 18- a millenium, 2000 born, for now only 2 complet years in apprentice, I love machining and the other stuff. I mean, Humans have this spirit to change the world. Me too. But everyone has it`s own way. I only work one a CNC 3 axis milling machine for half a year, but it`s mo great, I don`t want to end it. :) I `m motivated and proud that I have the chance to gain this knowledge and make things happen- that I have the chance to change th world! Titans of CNC is a motivation booster! - I mean, ... lets do a lion :))))
Yes i agree i was born in 74 and im struggling because of my lack of knowledge of computers. So yup they got one up on us older gen, but im doing something about it.
First time seeing this video 2022 three years after posting. At the time. I’m 40. An older millennial if not one of the oldest of them. January of ‘82. I think most people see millennials as people born after ‘95 at least. We are pushing 40 years old. We didn’t always have computers or tech. On the other hand we did grow up with it as it grew. So all the advances in tech came as we grew older. Not to discredit the generation before us who paved the way. It’s people in their 50’s and 40’s maybe some in their 60’s who opened the masses up to tech. Machining or electric cars or the internet. As long as it keeps building. The world is better off to an extent.
Titan. How often are you in the Las Vegas area? You really need to come to the school I just graduated from. I live about 100 miles northeast of Vegas on I-15 in southern Utah. I heard that someone was trying to get you to come here about a year & a half ago but nothing ever came of it. It's a brand new campus about 3 times the size of the one I started school on and it's awesome! You could bring the family & make a vacation out of it. There's so many things to do that are within 100 to 150 miles of this area, Zion N.P., Grand Canyon's north rim, Lake Powell, Lake Meed. and on and on... World class golfing too(if you into dat). Tons of awesome scenery within 40 miles also if you don't have time to travel all over. It's right on the edge of the desert so the cool mountains are within 30 minutes. As far as diverse landscape and out-door recreation, I'd say it's one of the best places in the world to live. I feel lucky to live here. So... ya., come on down. You need to get these students pumped about their future! I'll show you around. Like repelling? There's five great spots that range from 40 to 200 ft. within 15 miles of the school. The best one is about ten minutes drive, it has overhangs for getting crazy, running across the rocks & such. Those off-road, four seater vehicles are big here right now too. I'll have my brother take you for a spin in his and you can blow chunks! ;-) I heard we are spoiled in terms of theater here too but I know nothing of this, just thought I'd mention it in case the wife likes that stuff. ...boom! Ok, I'm done kissing ass now. Just do it. If you like the outdoors, you won't be disappointed.
I used to live where Harmon dead ends into UNLV and used to Fight for Top Rank off of Industry. I come every once in a while... Is there a Machining program?
OK, so you know the area. My ex-wife always wanted to move to Vegas, I told her it's the last place on earth I would raise kids. Machining program? Yes. Sorry, I should have mentioned that's what I went to school for, I just assumed... Let's see if links work on RUclips. dixietech.edu The program I went through is about half manual & half cnc.
I would love Nicole to come and show my guys how to actually do thier jobs haha. I wish you ran a shop out here where I live. The Cache valley is in desperate need of the modern training.
I love your videos! As a Millennial with a mechanical engineering degree and 3 years of aerospace machining background, I really related to this video. I have a unique question about how the CNC generation can relate to manual machine generation. I been to three shops in the past three years (job hopping unfortunately), and two of the shops had the same problems. Their main CNC programmer was programming the machines like he was using a manual mill/lathe. Low speed, low feed and not the best cycle time. In those two companies, I was able to use the recommended tooling speeds/feeds from the tooling manufacturers and increase cycle times significantly, but it was always a struggle to work with these old school machinist. How do you recommend Millennials work with people that learned on a manual machine/low torque CNC/low RPM machine/whatever and increase shop productivity through bettering tooling and equipment? Also, what should someone do when the owner of their shop does not know how to work on the machines? I have seen a lot of programs that are running carbide at HSS speeds because the programmers are afraid to use them at the correct speeds and they actually wear faster! Thanks for the videos!
I’m a 21 year old I work at GE aviation and I am the youngest guy in the shop I’m being trained on CNCs but I started on a small hand chucker to learn speeds and feeds am I considered a machinist
Training to be a machinist. Right now your an operator. I consider a machinist to be an individual that can make semi complex parts start to finish. Design, program, set up and machine... with wisdom concerning tooling, speeds, feeds, fixturing and all related variables.
I'm sorry. I guess what I meant to say is if I complete the program will I be employable at 63 years old? In your honest opinion? I'm already enrolled, I just haven't kicked my butt hard enough to get going on it. Kick me, please!
Its not about MILLENNIALS but more about rich spoilt kids versus non spoilt kids. Titan have YOU EVER HEARD about these guys who are rich kids with a financial degree that get a job in some bank or wall street place and THEIR MOMS GO IN AND INSPECT THE OFFICE before they start. And it's like HALF of them start like that in some of these places. Their so worried about them "settling in" and all these little things and THEY'RE 35 and stuff....
27 years old and I always say some people have it and some people don’t I’ve been machining seven years I think the most important thing is common sense my dad also a machinists I’ve worked with him when I started in one year I left to spread my wings now I make more that I ever imagined I’ve been to China to set up a job about to go to Malaysia but all they got that we don’t is more people and they pay like crap that’s why they got nets around there dorms so they don’t kill them self’s it’s pretty sad

Hi Titan
I’m a machinist but trying to join the top machining elite so must learn more everyday, you inspired me to strive for bigger and better places.
I was born and raised in that far eastern corner of Africa where Indian Ocean and Red Sea meet but currently working in Scotland.
Thanks Man BOOM!
Absolutely awesome titan, I was able to launch my business thanks to the Titan building blocks, I went from no experience to making my own parts.
In our shop millennials won't last long you are lucky to have such a talented young people
why not? titan's shop seems to be really rigorous and challenging is your shop even more so?
Well I'm actually a 16 y/o female machinist (and I consider myself a millennial even though some don't) but I love my job and hope to make it my career when I graduate high school :)
Hi you're generation z and is something that is on you generation, you're early starters! Jump in work early, start a business early! Winners!
Gen Z. Millenials start at around 1981-82 and go up to a certain point.
Love the way you are helping people to get petter and yor`re passion of dooing what you dooing and whis you luck in the future of dooing your work

Really lookin forward to finding my first machine job. I hope I dont have to come up to any of those old timer cliques mentioned below.
Hi Titan most of the kids you have their are generation z. And they are early starters in work. Good in technology.
I’m a 21 year old I work at GE aviation and I am the youngest guy in the shop I’m being trained on CNCs but I started on a small hand chucker to learn speeds and feeds am I considered a machinist

Hey, I'm 63, i"m not a Millennial, but I have tons of life and work experience. Can I join the "club" or is it only open to people under 30?
Academy.TitansofCNC.com is for everyone
I'm sorry. I guess what I meant to say is if I complete the program will I be employable at 63 years old? In your honest opinion?
I'm already enrolled, I just haven't kicked my butt hard enough to get going on it. Kick me, please!
well im 16, but im here so the next gen is still alive
Every generation has good people and bad; people tend to focus on what they want to see.

I am a millennial and I have my own machine shop. 24 years old
Pls help i can not download the the outodesk designing software.. Im from philippines i realy want to learn cadcam.
Are you a member of our Academy? To download Fusion 360 for Free go to: academy.titansofcnc.com/education/free-cad-cam-software
What about gen z in cnc machining
Lol. Nice video. It’s funny how millennials don’t want to be labeled as such. As with any generation, the exceptions will rise to the top.
Second guy I would say is Z generation, isn't it? :D
We know our job even without pc we dream it and achive it
If you want to diss on Melenials you have to also admit the failure of Gen-X parenting.
Still though we can't let Melenials slack off.
no one wants to be a millennial
why no ?
I was born in 1999 my boss says I'm from the 40's with my skills
