So I looked up job requirements for 3 different jobs in the area. Everything in red is something I'm unfamiliar with (or just not experienced enough). I'm going to look this stuff up when I get a chance.
I'm going to look for work full time as soon as the school quarter ends, so I want to at least know what I'll have to learn about. Does anyone here have experience in manufacturing?

I was more through this time. Once again, this is for manufacturing technician type work. I went through several job postings in terms of what they were looking for, and tried to communicate that in the spreadsheet you see above.
For this career, safety, cleanliness, and punctuality are assumed, so I didn't bother tallying those up.
3/6: Wanted you to monitor (as in keep records), use software to perform tasks, and hold 2-yr degrees along with stressing analytical skills
4/6: were concerned with technical documentation, as well as different forms of preventative maintenance
5/6: wanted mechanical aptitude and various machine operation processes, as well as troubleshooting skills
For the record, troubleshooting is where you analyze equipment to find out why it won't work. You can break a piece of equipment into electrical, mechanical, and fluid powered components and troubleshoot those systems independently. Electrical can include programming, digital logic, or relay logic. It seems like half the problems that show up anywhere involve one of a machines many electrical connections being compromised.
Where are all the manufacturing employees? Does this represent most manufacturing jobs?
