Anybody have a line on a good welding school in St. Louis? Got a friend who has been talking about it and told him I'd check on here and see if there were any reputable places up there...or down there based on my current location. Thanks!

I am located in the st louis area, i actually went to tulsa welding school but don't get me or anyone else started on it. There are a few schools in the area, a junior college near Centralia, illinois Kaskaskia college i have heard they have a decent all around welding program. There is another tech school in Decatur i can't remember the name of it but they due have a good welding program with some thought on downhill, Also i alot of the union's have great apprenticeship programs in this area, you have to remember St. Louis is on a major river with a ton of barge manufacturing and repair, and also near the a major oil hub in Patoka, Il. If a guy could get into a good shop or get on with any of the many pipeline maintence contractors may be a way to get paid to learn.
