45 year old new welding student

By tigmaniac Date 11-18-2014 12:58

Hi guys, I'm Paul. At 45 I decided that I wanted to be a welder. So I enrolled in the local college's AAS Welding program. I'm at the end of my first semester and ready to start 3G with backing. Anyway I've been video blogging my journey through welding school. I love it you would give it a look, and if you like please subscribe. Thanks for your time!

Hi Paul,
Welcome to the AWS Forum. I applaud you for learning this wonderful skill at 45. Feel free to come here, ask questions and learn some stuff.

Just saw your blog on Youtube. Interesting, so why the big switch from I.T. ?

Welcome to the Forum AND TO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF WELDING!
Hope we can all pitch in and help you along your path.
Are you planning this as a career move or hobbyist/general self improvement?
