Pick up something else like a trade. Would be a great excuse to pick up electric engineering or carpentry
Always said I'd love to learn to weld for real... would be as good a reason as any
Get a mask, gloves, a stick welder, and some scrap steel for practice. You can learn it off of Youtube easily enough.
Just whatever you do, DON'T WELD GALGANIZED STEEL! The zinc evaporates into fumes and can get you very sick and possibly kill you. If you absolutely have to weld galvanized steel, do it outside with a fan blowing all the fumes down wind.
Oh no, I can weld, everything but TIG... I'm just a farm welder, learned functional welding to fix stuff but never learned "propper" techniques.
See, this is the kind of thing that a class might teach, though.
I don't recall my high school ag class tesching this tbh
dont you mean electrician? electrical engineering should require college course work.
