EP 186: I Want To Be A Welder - Where Should I Start?


Listen Later

In this week’s episode, Beau explores three different ways to learn how to weld: attending school, learning on the job, or teaching yourself. He begins by sharing his own experience of going through a welding program at a local community college, offering insights into what you can expect from trade school.

Next, we dive into the world of on-the-job learning with a clip from Stan Sherwin, who honed his welding skills working alongside his father, practicing on scrap metal during lunch breaks and after hours. We also hear from Laura King, who started her welding journey after a chance conversation at her liquor store job led to a helper position.

Finally, we delve into self-taught welding with Hayden Barnes, who mastered the craft using YouTube tutorials and the support of an online community.

By the end of the episode, you’ll have a clearer picture of each path and which one might be the best fit for you. Tune in and find the inspiration to start your welding journey!
