Jeffrey’s Answer

Show up on time prepared to work. Volunteer to take on new assignments. Ask questions if you don't know the answer. Be dependable.

Jeffrey recommends the following next steps:

Find a local welding school that offers a 12 week course. That will teach you most everything you need to know, and not load you up with debt like a community college program.
