- Self-reliance
- Teamwork
- Dependability
- Honesty and integrity

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.
