I went thru welding class in high school, 3 hours a day, 5 x week, for 3 years or 1,516 hours of classroom and hands on welding. Last 2-weeks of class, we were taking welding tests for American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and American Welding Society (AWS) certifications in plate and pipe. Passed all tests. Had a good paying job after graduation $6.25 hour, not bad for 1968. This led to college Welding Engineering at Ohio State, (masters degree). Schools need to rethink that all students are not college bound.
