"What does a certified welding inspector do in a small, mostly rural state?"
Well, here's Professor "Carlisle" Carl Smith's take on some of the challenges involved in working away from densely populated areas as the 1st paragraph implies...
"Welding inspectors in some small, mostly rural areas don’t lack for exciting, challenging work. Their inspections often are just as critical as those in more congested, urban areas."
"An American Welding Society-certified welding inspector (CWI) can expect to encounter much versatility when working in a small, mostly rural area like the state of
West Virginia. A CWI in West Virginia first must inform most out-of-state customers that his state is not the western corner of Virginia. It is a real state that even has its own flag!"
I really enjoyed reading this article and I'm sure most, if not all of you will do the same so, enjoy the read! Oh btw, that capital dome is really plated with real gold!
