What is tricky with those is getting *into* the trade.

my brother is a CNC programmer. he went to trade school, not
college.

I never heard of that occupation, even though I program computers in
my job. It's described at http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos286.htm if anyone
else is wondering what it is.

he also was unemployed for 3 years after graduation
(1) because employers not only wanted the trade school
certificate, they wanted 5 years of experience (2).

(1) he worked odd jobs out of the field
(2) 5 years experience in a trade that had only existed for 7
years at the time. yeah, that was likely.
lee

Are you saying that he should have obtained a B.S. in computer science
instead?
