Lupita’s Answer
I'm not a welder but have learned that mastering your craft takes time. I've been working in the field of Property and Casualty Insurance for almost 20 years and I am still learning. Innovation changes the skill sets needed for any job type. Personally, what I had to know about Insurance 20 years ago has changed quite a bit since then. My recommendation is that you take the needed classes to become a welder, hands-on work is likely where you will learn the most and continue to take continuing education classes to stay up to date the changes in your industry.

If you have zero experience, classes are definitely a good idea. Skilled professionals sometimes offer private welding classes. There are also 2-yr associate's degree programs where you can learn. Alternatively, you could volunteer or become an apprentice at a welding shop. As with almost anything in life, practice is what will perfect your skills and craft. Once you're confident enough, there's a welding certification exam the you can take.
