update: i joined the trade

a year ago i posted here asking if i should join the trade. i wasn’t sure what to do because i lacked the confidence and wasnt sure if i had it in me. well i said fuck it and joined an adult education program. i ended up getting a job before even finishing school.

I TIG weld transducers (mostly compression and hydraulic) for a large company that supplies to the government (DoD/ US military, NASA, etc.), automotive manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, etc. all stainless autogenous (I miss using filler but whatever). super tiny welds. pays good as fuck. I LOVE IT.

thanks for the advice and stuff guys. really happy to be out of customer service. realized the other day i hadn’t heard a phone ring in for-fucking-ever and it about brought a tear to my eye.

(welds in pic aren’t great but it’s the only pic i had that was at work and not bs from school lmao)
