i gotta question boss, i'm on 1g and i'm having problem with porosity with 7018. I'm only getting porosity when I start the line in the very beginning and not anywhere else. What is the cause of this problem? my instructor is telling me to hit the arc and hover outside of the plate for a second and then come into the plate and build the puddle and start the line, is this the only way?

Hey man, would you recommend going to welding school for a 20 year old? I'm in college right now (with no debt because college is cheap where I'm from) but its going to take me 10 years to get a degree. I'm thinking of doing a trade job either permanently or just while studying. I think it takes a few months to get a welding license or degree where I am. Is welding a good career that you would recommend? or should I just stick to college and get a degree.

Thanks for reaching out. I’ve seen students from 17 to 60+ years old! I started welding after high school. Very HOT, in the shop or outside, in Texas! I also went to college while welding & got my associates of applied science in welding. If you don’t mind the heat, sweating, working with your hands then welding might be something to look into. Different processes to learn which could land you in an air conditioned shop! Like stainless, chromium, aluminum or other exotic metals. Not sure what degree you are going for or what part of the country you’re in? Some schools or welding training offer short courses like 2or 9 months. Which is enough time to learn one processes (TIG, Stick, MIG) which could land you a job while you continue school. I’ve enjoyed my career in welding. I’ve also wanted to do it since I discovered it in high school & stuck with it. Welding is & always will be a trade in need! Maybe try welding engineering or technician? Best of luck, thank you for your time.
