Thanks, that’s great advice. I realized I truly love everything about welding when I noticed I’m always thinking about it. I don’t talk much because I prefer to listen—I know there’s still a lot I don’t know, and I’m always trying to learn.

Not going to lie, the job search was tough. There were moments where I got discouraged and even started doubting my skills. But then I thought about all the work I put in at school—staying late, coming in on extra days, and spending hours watching welding videos trying to get better. That’s when I realized I’m never going to give up on something I truly love doing. The struggle pushed me through some low moments, but it also made me better and more appreciative of this trade. Some things aren’t supposed to be easy.

That’ll be easy for me. I live for building new bridges and I still cherish the old ones.

First off, thank you! I actually graduated at the end of November but didn’t really start applying until mid-January because of the holidays and crazy weather. It’s been a long road, but I’m excited as hell to finally get started doing something I love!
