Same, my favorite job was working as a (non-certified) machinist and welder that designed and made in-house jigs and equipment for a factory. I loved designing the parts and then turning a pile of stock into a useful piece of equipment. I ended up becoming a PhD scientist and still miss that job. The worse part is that I totally could have made a decent career out of welding. My cousin is making more than me as a welder without any degree.
Can second this, my friend is making a decent living as a machinist. He had to ditch his first job because they were bullshitting him about promotions, and one of his bosses thought he was "too valuable to promote."
bosses like that should be shot. no trial, no appeal.
