Welding
Hello, my name is Aryan Jones and I am a junior at Fannin County High School.I want to be an underwater welder or a “normal” welder. In fact, I actually had an interview with a few welders and they gave me some tips and facts about welding. With this I gained a few skills during my time. In addition, I used to be a Boy Scout, which means I know how to be a team leader and be responsible. Also I have good communication skills and a good personality. I know how to stick weld because I took a class in Boy Scouts on how to weld.
When considering a career in welding, it is important to consider the responsibilities, the education requirements for your projected career, the potential salary for your projected career and the employment outlook for your projected career.

The reason I want to be welder is because of the responsibilities and the hard work that welders put in everyday. …show more content…

Also being a welder you must know and study blueprints, maintain equipment and inspect structures also Welders or cutters must be able to work outside or in a confined area (“Welders, Cutters, Solderers”).Also be ready for the change in temperature or climate because one of the welders told me that you can either be in a huge ¨freezer¨ or outside in the texas heat. Another thing about being a welder is you must not be afraid of heights, you must wear a safety harness, a hard hat and Welders can get hurt by the arc; so they must wear a protective mask (“Welders, Cutters, Solderers”). As a welder you must Must have a good hand-eye coordination and Must have physical stamina to stand or sit for a long period of time(“Welders, Cutters,

    To begin with, Study.com tells that the lowest level of education required is a high school diploma or equivalent. Many employers may require an employer- based welding test. Some employers look for a certificate or undergraduate degree from a technical school (Study.com). Next, it is important to note where training is available. WATC.edu states, that they offer a welding program. WATC is located in Wichita Kansas. Their welding program allows students to gain knowledge and skills in cutting, shielded metal arc welding, gas metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, and provides some exposure to oxy-acetylene cutting and welding (WATC.edu). In addition, the length and cost of the training is an important consideration. WATC.edu shares, that there are 5 different degree and certificate options. The one I would be interested in is the Welding Technical Certificate option. This one would be a total of 46 credit hours and would cost a total of $10,524. Finally, this job requires certain traits, talents and interests. The Occupational Handbook adds, that welders often must work in awkward positions using tools, so they need to be able to put up with that. A lot of times, overtime will be present. So you would have to be available for overtime if needed. Welders are required to lift heavy objects sometimes. So a welder should be fairly strong (The OCO). I think that being a welder would be hard work. I feel that I would be able to work hard enough to be a welder. I now know what traits a person should have, in order to be a welder. In summary, there are educational and personal qualifications to consider if I want to become a

    A solid foundation and understanding of welding and principles is beneficial but is not needed as on the job training is common. A high school diploma with experience is usually all that is required to get a job as a welder along with being able to pass a welding qualification test. However experience and technical/welding school instruction is a major advantage when it comes to employment. Sometimes an employer will pay for the cost of training and or certifications. Taking courses in shop mathematics, metallurgy, blueprint reading and mechanical drawing offer a welder a better understanding of the principles applied when welding and a more rounded skill set. Robotic welding and computer controlled welding machines are growing so it helps to have knowledge on programming these as this would open a huge path for any person looking into welding as a

  • A Brief History of Welding

    If you want to be a welder, and actually have a career, you can go to a welding school and learn how to weld, or you can try to be a welders helper and just learn the trade. Welding can be a tough job if you don’t know what you are doing or you do not enjoy doing it. Welding is a fabrication or sculptural process that joins materials together (Modern Welding). This is the process that uses fuel gases and oxygen to make a molten pool of metal to fuse together two pieces of metal, called puddeling (oxy-fuel welding and cutting. Wikipedia). If you decide to weld as your profession, most welding school students have little trouble finding jobs and finding people certified to weld correctly (Welding.Wikipedia).

    To start in the trade of welding one must have a high school diploma, but some schools offer welding basics while students are still in high school (“Welders and Welding Technicians”964). After high school people find out welding is one of the few jobs where you do not need any kind of permit or a college education, one can start by passing a weld test (Frazier, Patrick). Though most people did not grow up welding, many do learn from a community college technical institutes, trade schools, or the armed forces (“Welders”175).

    I did a little research on pipe line welding but I couldn’t find too much of anything on the website I was on. The recruiter also told me that Tig welding will be the hardest and take the longest to learn. I aren’t even tripping about that though because I know that in order for me to succeed something has to be hard along the way, nothing comes easy for nobody. The only thing I am honestly worried about is moving to Oklahoma just to go to welding school. I don’t want to go way down there and get home sick then, I am trying to run back home to my parents or to my home town.

    There is some basic equipment that is needed while welding. First and foremost, a welding mask is needed to protect the eyes from the extremely bright light created by the arc. UV light can also come from arcs, so eye protection is needed for this as well. Another necessary piece of safety equipment is gloves. A thick protective specially designed welding glove is used for the hand that is holding the torch, and a thinner glove is optional for the hand that isn’t on the torch as well. Heavy cotton clothing, especially long sleeves and jeans, is necessary as well. The long sleeves and pants will protect the skin from the extremely hot spatter than can fly off everywhere when welding. Leather is preferred if doing a lot of welding at one time.
