Hello all my current profession is a baker. i have been doing it for a few years but i get no fulfillment out of it and i am quite bored with it. i have had a fascination with mechanical stuff most of my life i love to create things/fix things that last. and would love to introduce my self to welding as a career.i live in the st. louis area and locally we have a college called Ranken that has a welding program. i was wondering if any one has known any welders come from this school proficient enough to get their foot in the door.or if it would be a waste of time.
