awesome

Now, it's four to five weeks of anxiety, but I reckon I passed.

sounds interesting

I'm going to an orientation for electrician apprenticing this coming Tuesday

Apprenticeship into Trade into Easy Life.

It's a good path.

yeah not liking office jobs

I see here welding is 86% male

less bitches more riches

Pretty much.

I doubt many women would do critical jobs that'd warrant inspectors.

Lol 👍

GTAW/TIG welding is literally art compared to other welding processes.

interesting

Do you have like something similar as a sparky?

lol no-idea I'm a total noob, googling GTAW and TIG welding atm

It's the same thing, but different codes call it different things. EN vs American.

What can you do? -.-

well right now I'm a computer technician

so I'm more in the abstract dimension

I was became curious about electrical because its proximity to what I already do now

Welding is literally just creating an arc.

I've been contracting since end of school, never worked a full time job

FT "pro" job, that is

That's really cool. You could probably repair/service welding machines. Too many workshops just throw them out.

If you become a sparky, that is.

"soldering" is pretty much welding right?

I guess so.

Different materials and temperatures, though.

Soldering obviously doesn't bring the parent materials to melting point, though, whereas you're dealing with actual molten metal with welding.

I see

yeah soldering is a skill I want to pick up for my iOT projects

thx for the info, gonna do some lookin

IOT? Like... Those singleboard computers?

nothing fancy, more like ardunio-integrated sensors and web apps

Interesting.

yup

gonna hit the sack ttyl

and bonne chance with the inspection exam result

:)

Maybe they aren't being wagecucked
