I did have a go on welding during my bachelors and this is what you should be mindful of:
1. You must be able to interpret various welding symbols and what they are trying to say (e.g. fillet welding with 1/16'' root notch @ 2 passes)
2. Welding is a challenging job which involves hazardous materials. Some of them include:
i) Never directly look at the spark generated while doing GMAW or TIG welding. It could cause some serious eye issues.
ii) An overlooked hazard is the taking in of fumes (sulphurous in nature) which could cause lung diseases.

If you respect the equipment and the safety guidelines associated with it, you can expect to learn a lot about metallurgy, chemistry, physics and electricity. And maybe even make a solid career out of it.
If you don't, you can expect some nasty burns and possibly an electric-shock or two... ;)
