That’s not a simple question to answer. Do you have any schooling already, are you a beginner at a beginner level? What type of welding are you looking to do? Stick, MIG, TIG? Do you know? Do you know the difference? This will help you decide what course of action you need to choose in order to take the proper courses to get the results you’re looking for. If you need anything further feel free to ask and I’ll help and answer to the best of my ability.
Choose what form of welding you’d like to do
Decide if you want to do welding full time
Choose if you want to weld in a shop atmosphere or if you want to weld out in the field
