So I rage quit my shitty job and want to get a welding certification and I'm waiting a week to sign for the basic fall courses. I Already Called the school I want to go to for basic courses, and then eventually get certified. Both will cost 600$ for each course, and I roughly have just that much. What do you think I should do to pass time while pretending to be at work?

I loved her in contact, pity she is a lesbian.
That's a dyke and you could go workout and ride your bicycle to different places.
Well fuck. Way to ruin my dreams dick.
Why welding OP? Study something to do with computers, much more employability
Cause it pays pretty good and I could always learn coding for free online.
Aren't you the basement dwelling faggot who tried to fuck his dog to lose his virginity in the other thread?
Specialists are more needed now than ever, mostly because of losers like you who get a worthless skill (or worse, a degree in something worthless) and can't find a job that would both pay well and not make you want to kill yourself each day you're at work.
This is true but then why don't you learn it online for free? Save yourself some money at the same time
checked
go take creepshots of hot girls in skimpy outfits and post them here.
Welding is a good skill to have no doubt, but getting a certification like its the only thing you were put on the earth to do and work at a job where thats all you do.. I'd kill myself to be honest.
I do welding when I want two pieces of metal pieced together for my various projects. I do cutting when I need to create pieces for the welding. Woodworking for jigs and other aspects of my projects. Circuitry and electronics when sensors, motors or whatever else of the sort is needed. Soldering and baking for putting the boards together. Programming when micro-controllers are involved. 3D modelling when plastic parts need to be printed out.
Seriously if all I focused on in my life was just the welding side of things life would be boring as shit.
How many courses is it?
A week - just go out and walk, you'll get your stamina up. Go swimming maybe. Listen to audio books / podcasts while walking.
I'm a successful IT fag and I've always said that if my career turns to shit I'm going to turn to welding. Welders are always in demand, and always will be. And good welders are harder to find and hire than IT fags, so the pay will always be good. Only downside is welders can't hide away in their office secretly fapping as easily as I can now. Well, maybe they can, but I'm sure it shows in the work they put out.
What welding process OP?
...
>So I rage quit my shitty job and want to get a welding certification
Good information to have, thanks. I'll probably get other skills as well but welding is just short term, all those together sound like you are very variable at work and probably get paid alot.
2 courses, 1 for basic, 1 to get certified, 60 hours total.
If u dont have a welder get one and practice, the course is good to teach the how and why to do everything, put welding is 95% practising
Better then being a dishwasher right?
Good info
He's new, he don't know
user welding is fucking brutal in an atmosphere that you work in 95% of the time has heavy metal in the air chewing at your lungs...
It pays well because it is fucking miserable work bro.
Watch some videos of industrial or structural welding and see if you still think it's right for you, then don't go to a shitty college, go to your local pipefitter/ iornworker/ boilermaker union hall and apprentice there, they don't give a Fuck about a college degree in beginning welding, and will certify you through the union... talk to some of the oldtimers and ask questions
Plus they can get you working tomorrow...
Is there a way to prevent inhaling toxins?
I just realized that's Jodie Foster.
This sounds exactly like the kind of career I've ever dreamt about. Mind to tell me what education you got and where you're employed as what?
GTFO Sup Forums and learn about welding instead.
Have a current eye exam and fucking make sure you can SEE detail from about 12 to 16 inches. Hit welding forums for info and advice on useful things to bring to any welding school. Weldingweb and the Miller forums are the best.
Welding has good career paths and if you are good you can make stupid money so give it a try. My welding instructor went back on the road with his wife (who he trained as a fitter) and they work about half a year then break horses on their ranch. He loves it.
Volunteer to help out such as cutting coupons (the metal type) and anything else they might need and ask to practice longer than the allotted time in return. DISPLAY AWESOME WORK ETHIC and have NO personal sensitivity. Welding is like working at Sup Forums and there is NO tolerance for personal butthurt.
Hey op I'm boilermaker from perth aus with 6 years experience welding is a good skill but it's fucking shit work man its really hard to be good takes a lot of practice even then if you pressure tested it your weld would fail look in to tig welding good money and people still want tig welding done mainly for hospitals and kitchens so even more money good luck
High school education. Self employed at my own company which I started currently with thousands of customers all around the world and growing. Currently expanding our product line.
Small businesses aren't profitable at the beginning so I don't get paid very well (I bet most of these children on Sup Forums make more than me), but I own quite a lucrative set of assets so I'm content.
Wow, that's pretty nice.
What's your product? Or do your costumers come to you to design and/or build specific "things"?
Computer fields are full in many areas and it's easy to get wiped out by outsourcing. Welding is mobile and can be a great gig if you are young.
Again, check out welding forums. This is not one. Post tits or something.
>Seriously if all I focused on in my life was just the welding side of things life would be boring as shit.
That's only mong level production welding in some factory. Pipe and structural welding builds the world and is nothing like hobby welding.
All I'm saying on the chanz is that its for security and used in government and commercial applications.
Normally we don't make things customers ask for, but if we see a problem in the industry which we feel we can improve with some piece of technology and feel its worth our time and money to develop then we will pursue it.
When you make a small business, if you are smart your end goal is not to make a huge corporation worth billions; your goal is to make a company that LOOKS like it will be worth billions so you can get sold out and make maybe half a billion. Takes previous time, tremendous effort without sleep, and financial sacrifices but once your "baby" is big enough, it will get "adopted" and you get a pretty fucking nice payout.
With that you can move on to bigger and better things. That might even mean making another few companies. In my case I'm building a rocket ship to Mars, no kidding.
I'm well aware of the need for dedicated welders. But I can't personally imagine being one. I'd be bored out of my mind.
My brother is a welder and hates his job. All he does all day is crawl around inside various metal objects, welding seams for hours. It's hot, it's uncomfortable and it's unhealthy.
Welding certificates expire after a while and you can't find a job that actually allows you to keep them all up to date. Thus, if you look for a new place of employment, you have to take the tests again, and where we are from, they cost a couple hundred bucks each.
Welding is good work if you excel at it or have no life (welding pipelines for instance makes good money, but you are stuck at the end of the world for month, those workers are usually on all kinds of drugs to be able to work for hours on end).
It depends. If you're a shit welder and working assembly lines then yeah i'd off myself. If you're good, which its hard not to be, than you get fun shit like building a stadium and hanging from rafters 300 feet up while welding shit and pipes together.
Hell i'd take commercial scuba welding just because it involves a good bit of sitting around and then crazy dangerous shit that might get me killed and assuming my dream doesn't come true i get a few months of shore leave with more dosh than a rich kid gets from a trust fund.
You will not get into scuba welding unless you are already an experienced diver and a good welder on top of that. There's a reason it's well paid, because there is a very limited pool of candidates.
Well i've scuba'd since age 7 mostly informally.
Also its highly paid as you get hazard pay from it since it has an insanely high mortality rate.
Well since I consider welding a means to an end I don't think about it as a career job personally. I can see how it can be considered fun in those situations, but I personally find performing calculations much more entertaining. Frankly everything I do, whether it be in electronics, mechanics and engineering, design, welding, or any other bullshit required to make my math turn into real life is just a waste of my time in my opinion. If I had the money and my project was big enough I'd just hire people to do that bullshit for me and just concentrate on the more interesting calculations and supervise the design, programming, and engineering.
You can have your underwater welding. I'll be hiking on Mars and establishing a settlement.
Never quit your job with prospect on the next one you fucking shit
>waiting for the basic fall courses.
I'm still not sure how settlement legalities will work for mars. It's still technically international waters and last i checked the legality of it was something akin to celestial bodies and everything else beyond our atmosphere was subject to equal and fair share so as to avoid someone colonizing mars or some silly thing.
It's why America doesn't own the moon for example despite the flag. Best you could do would be a technically illegal township unless they've changed/will have changed things.
it's her reaction when asked by an interviewer what she looks for in a guy
> like a give a fuck about earth laws while I'm conquering Mars
Maybe if this was through NASA or some shit like that I'd have to comply, but this is a personal mission. I got the know-how and dedication to get my ass to Mars and not die when I am there. I'll likely bring an army of Martian defenders to make sure Earth does not try to take our land from us.
Earth would probably just bombard it with long range missiles. Nothing worth not blowing up and it sends a message to would be pirates. It doesn't even risk troops.
>losers like you who get a worthless skill
Losers like him are the reason you're sitting on your ass bitching about losers like him. Worthless my ass...
It would be stupid of me to commit all my resources on a land army when clearly the only logical way to attack a Martian settlement is from space, so of course I'd have active technology to counter that threat.
Fortunately for me I have most of this potential threat covered. This is where being a physics geek comes in quite nicely, but I can't really explain more on the subject since these plans are real and the consequences of divulging them this early are equally real.
Whats this have to do with anything
>Hot girl for attention
MODS MODS MOOOOOOOOODS
I'm a union pipe welder and I make just $35/hr and I cleared 86k last year with overtime. No college but I did have to go through a 5 year apprenticeship through my local. It sucked ass but you learn a lot. And it's something no one can take away from you! You can go anywhere and weld if you're good at it. And if you are welding pipe it almost always pays good if you can do X-ray
If you're making a manned mission, you will need several rockets.
Well she's also like 60 now so I don't think he ruined much.
Sad another bloodline dies because of our political climate.
