Re: New TIG welder--WOW!
Awesome! I found TIG welding to be an incredibly useful skill, especially in college. In addition to welding for my Formula SAE team and numerous student projects, it landed me a very nice on-campus job: welding lab supervisor. My college even paid for me to take several certification exams. I still keep the skill up, and I have done occasional weld jobs for a local helicopter and air plane shop as well as for my day job. A recent alum from my team is now know as "the welding girl" as she got a job her freshman year welding for her college's drama department making set pieces.
Tell your kids to keep up the TIG practice! Skilled labor is in high demand these days, even if you've got an engineering degree.
