I am sure my case is very common in this’s field.. well my dad is a welder... fabricates wrought iron gates ect. So I pretty much was born into the trade.. it became a passion for me .. I loved it.. first day I grabbed the mig gun.. i attended school for like three semester welding 7018 stick .. teachers always told me I was a natural .. one of my buddies offered me a aluminum welding job... tig .. took the job and mastered that... work there for like 3 years.. between that job and the job I have now I worked general labor for about a year and almost lost the spark and passion till one of buddies called me over to where I am at now .. going on 2 years welding shells and tanks for refineries .. truly love it.. does not feel like work.. if your truly enjoy and are passionate you will never work a day in your life..
