I'm 42 have never welded.
My question is should I take the one year class that seems like a ton of hours Length 12+ Months
Schedule
Monday-Friday; 8 am-2 pm
What they cover is.
The most common four welding processes taught are:
SMAW (Stick)
GMAW (MIG)
FCAW (Flux Core)
GTAW (TIG)
Students also learn:
OFC/W (Oxy-Fuel Cutting/Welding/Washing)
CAC/G (Carbon Arc Cutting/Gouging)
PAC/G (Plasma Arc Cutting/Gouging)
Is a year+ over kill and teaching me things I'll never use.
By reading this board and looking more into boilmakers union it looks like I could get in as a helper/apprentice program and be making more quicker then a year of study.
I have no kids never been married,nothing tying me down and want to do whatever I can to be the best I can at welding and make the best living at it.Thank you for any help.
