This is what always gets me as someone who works in manufacturing. We go though people like clockwork. Finding someone who wants the job, can do the job, and can learn the process is such a monumental task. The sad part is the money is there. You'll get paid better then people with degrees. Still they don't want to do what it takes.
I have always assumed that I wouldn't be wanted. Helping build stuff looks neat, but I am getting old, raised in the boondocks, only have a high school degree, and am autistic. It is my guess that no one would want the likes of me, because there are many other people who are more capable and desperate.
From my experience wisdom goes a long way as an operator. It takes wisdom to know 99% of things you don't understand can be explained pretty easily if you are curious and not afraid to ask questions. Lots of operators think they just need to show up and "do the job." That's true, mostly, but if you instead show up, do the job, and learn the process, you'll become invaluable.
