Mad skills. We need so many welders in this country over the next 30 years. Our JC just started a new welding certificate program. Certified welders make huge money.
I did take wood shop for a few years, because it was way more fun than regular classes. Left after junior year for the local vo-tech where I studied electronics. After a couple of years of repairing TVs & stereos and getting high, I decided I'd give college a whirl.
