[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 613675, member: 3162"] I was an apprentice I & C tech when I started in night school welding. After the stick certification, I was working on heli-arc. It was about then I broke out as an I & C tech so I dropped the welding. But having the skills has paid off many times over. Then I started night school engineering. The rest is history. The company sent me to many ASME trainings and seminars. ASME B31.1 is awesome for someone who wants to know the reality of metalugical properties. If you can weld and weld good, you can build better equipment than you can buy. Look at the cattle chute discussion. The old saying is if you want a job done right, do it yourself. Pipe line welders are knocking down well over a quarter million a year for the last three years. True they are putting in a lot of hours, but they are in very high demand right now. You read and hear all the garbage about how bad things are in the economy, then you go and listen to welders. Those who have been shop welding out back and now turning away more work than they can handle out of their own back yard. If you don't actually go to work as a welder, you can always use the skill on your own projects. [/QUOTE]
