Thanks for taking the to to read this. I am looking to get started in this field very soon. My only real experience with welding has been with very little stick welding and a lot of mig. Unfortunately I was taught in prison. I am looking for suggestions. I would like to know if there at good companies in the tampa bay area that will hire someone like me and train me on some of the other arts in the process. I would eventually like to get involved in underwater welding. Thank you again for your time.
