[QUOTE="redbug, post: 76280, member: 71"] I went the tech school route for welding. passed every cert test they could give at the school. I passed the test to be an instructor at the school. that is what I wanted to do. I came out of school at a time when a lot of manufacturing jobs were going away so instead of a company hiring a fresh behind the ears kid the companies would take the welder with 15 years exp that was just laid off. I wound up going from job to job until I got lucky and was hired by the power company. the one thing I learned at my current job is the cert tests I paid extra for at school wouldn't help in the real world each employer has their own tests you will need to pass. good luck with what ever you choose Wayne [/QUOTE]
