I disagree
many decades ago I went to college for welding and metallurgy, etc etc
the plumbers and pipefitters union sent their people to the same classes
( did not do as good as I did
)
maybe things have changed
but I know Allan on here is very wise and is very knowledgeable
high school and college programs are where you learn things besides burning rod and laying beads
union programs never teach that
just imho
sincerely,
Kent
edit after some time I thought this through
if I was starting out now
I would not spend the $$$ on school
(sorry Allan)
I would spend it on equipment and materials
everything else I would need for info is on the internet
Henry and Al among many are the best sources you can have
and welding is doing it over and over again
I might be wrong but just imho
