Steve Thorne’s love of machining grew out of the desire to pursue a hands-on profession that also serves as a creative outlet. The 2017 Vincennes University graduate had a clear idea of what he wanted to do in life. He earned two VU degrees and graduated without any debt. The skills he learned at VU have helped him achieve impressive success early in his career. Thorne was able to purchase a home in 2018 at the age of 22. He recently started a management position making more than $70,000 at Union Electric Steel in Valparaiso, Indiana. ##
