My first welding job came along before I was done with welding school.
Winter break was near and my instructor announced that a nearby shop was hiring welders.
So I went to test for the job.
I bombed out on the mig welding vertical tee joint test , but I go hired anyway as a stick welder.
My job was to weld the mast head support for mobile drilling rigs.
It was high strength steel and I sat on a 5 gallon bucket all day welding with 3/16" diameter 11018 rods.
