...Your salary will also depend on how many years of experience you have with you. Expanding into different field may take longer than other depending on how hard or complicated the skill is. Underwater welding for example, if commercial diving and general welding are a big part of the curriculum, the program will generally be longer, anywhere from two to five years. On the flip side, a more specialized program that concentrates solely on underwater welding skills can sometimes be completed in as few as six months. Why is welding such a wide-open gig? It really comes down to this; welding is part of just about everything you see and touch every day: the car you drive, the bridge you drive over, and the school or mall you drive to. Welding’s also part of making airplanes, ships and all kinds of manufactured products, from lawn mowers to earthmoving equipment. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that welders have a bright job outlook in coming years, projecting a 15 percent growth rate in the number of welder positions between 2010 and 2020. At the school I’m going to, Mitchell tech, to become a welder; there is a 100% job placement rate for the students that graduate there. The BLS estimates that an additional 50,000 welding positions will be added during the decade. So for welding, you would have to try...

... I always loved doing activities with my hands, crafting different items out of raw materials. I remember when I took woodshop and welding class at high school and I enjoyed how I had the opportunity to create and sculpt items. That’s why I feel becoming a welding technician would be great for me. Welders are needed all over the world, its like you have endless work . Welders are in high demand they‘re need for everything when it comes to manufacturing. It just sounds like everything i'm looking for in a career. The reason I chose this profession was because I’m a hands on kind of guy. I like to get my hands dirty. Ever since I was a little kid, I was always dismantling things around the house. I stayed in trouble with my mom. As I become older, I started to notice that I was pretty good with my hands. My mom was always asking me to repair things around the house, like the dvd player or the lawn mower or just odd jobs around the house. But what really interested me in the welding job was my welding class. I had a teacher named Mr. Green who taught us the safety procedures, proper clothing to wear and welding using the basic methods. I found the class very interesting, We created tables, chairs, and a barbeque pit and even statues from raw metals. This class really made me want to become welding technician. Based on my personality assessment from type focus, my personality type is “introversion, intuition, thinking and perceiving”. This is based of the results...

...The Art of Welding Welding is defined as the process of joining together metal pieces or parts by heating the surfaces to the point of melting using a blowtorch, electric arc, or other means, and putting them together by pressing or hammering. Welding is more of an art rather than a skill. It takes a special person to be able to completely master the art. Skills that a welder would need to have would be a very detail-orientated mind set. (Welding Basics) anyone can weld, but nobody is going to pay someone to weld something together crappily. The reason I am doing my research on welding is because I want to figure out if this is what I would like to do the rest of my life. I only have minor experience with welding. But, the experience I have had so far has been fun and exciting. Most of the work I have done with welding has involved my cars which is most likely the biggest reason that I have become so interested in this field of study. I have figured out that training for welding workers can range from a few weeks of school or on-the-job training for low-skilled positions, to several years of combined school and on-the-job training for highly skilled jobs. Training is available in high schools, and other types of institutions such as technical institutes, community colleges, and private welding schools. The Armed Forces have welding schools as well. (Jeffus,153) While some employers provide basic training, they prefer to hire workers with experience or more formal training...

...or checkout lines. But now there's something to talk about that outweighs all reserve, like we were somehow all standing right there and just saw the same traffic accident. E.g., overheard in the checkout line at Burwell's (which is sort of the Neiman Marcus of gas station/convenience store plazas -- centrally located athwart both one-way main drags, and with the best tobacco prices in town, it's a municipal treasure) between a lady in an osco cashier's smock and a man in a dungaree jacket cut off at the shoulders to make a sort of homemade vest: "With my boys they thought it was all some movie like that Independence Day til then after a while they started to notice it was the same movie on all the channels." (The lady didn't say how old her boys were.) WEDNESDAY BEVERYBODY HAS flags out. Homes, businesses. It's odd: You never see anybody putting out a flag, but by Wednesday morning there they all are. Big flags, small flags, regularflag-size flags. A lot of homeowners here have those special angled flagholders by their front door, the kind whose brace takes four Phillips screws. And thousands of those little hand-held flags-on-a-stick you normally sec at parades -- some yards have dozens all over as if they'd somehow sprouted overnight. Rural-road people attach the little flags to their mailboxes out by the street. Some cars have them wedged in their grille or duct-taped to the antenna. Some upscale people have actual poles; their flags are at half-mast. More than...

He was a model enlightened entrepreneur, a fact that took me years to appreciate. His compassion with his employees and dedication to service inspired me to be a better businessman and a better person. When I was growing up, he liked to say, “Son, the most important word in the English language is ‘empathy.’ ” When I told him I was starting a business, his first words were, “Always treat your employees right.” He learned that appreciation the hard way, losing his father at a young age and countless war buddies in the trenches. But his love for God, country, and his fellow citizens never wavered. This one’s for you, Dad.

...Praise for The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down “Fadiman describes with extraordinary skill the colliding worlds of Western medicine and Hmong culture.” —The New Yorker “This fine book recounts a poignant tragedy…It has no heroes or villains, but it has an abundance of innocent suffering, and it most certainly does have a moral…[A] sad, excellent book.” —Melvin Konner, The New York Times Book Review “An intriguing, spirit-lifting, extraordinary exploration of two cultures in uneasy coexistence…A wonderful aspect of Fadiman’s book is her even-handed, detailed presentation of these disparate cultures and divergent views—not with cool, dispassionate fairness but rather with a warm, involved interest that sees and embraces both sides of each issue…Superb, informal cultural anthropology—eye-opening, readable, utterly engaging.” —Carole Horn, The Washington Post Book World “This is a book that should be deeply disturbing to anyone who has given so much as a moment’s thought to the state of American medicine. But it is much more…People are presented as [Fadiman] saw them, in their humility and their frailty—and their nobility.” —Sherwin B. Nuland, The New Republic 3/462 “Anne Fadiman’s phenomenal first book, The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, brings to life the enduring power of parental love in an impoverished refugee family struggling to protect their seriously ill infant daughter and ancient spiritual traditions from the tyranny of welfare bureaucrats and intolerant...
