Finally, I can contribute.

In the past year, I've watched 90% of Jody's videos, bought some TIG-fingers, join the FB page, and just scored a job alot like Jody's (welder/fabricator at machine shop). I've made a few clueless posts, but I'm hoping that I will be able to contribute and have some fun here.
I do alot of research online. The amount of information seems to have exploded rather than double or tripled. I'm glad that I have a work environment that will allow me to experiment with the things I learn online.
Long term goals include management/CWI or CWI/teaching welding, then start up a company of my own. Why do I want to be one of those unqualified managers that everyone hates because I'm a prime candidate for being unqualified management. I have a BA in Humanities. It's despicable, I know.
If money were not such a weighing factor in life, I'd be doing metal sculptures like coldhardart, browndogwelding, dirty smith, and others. Hopefully, things will continue to there positive progress over the next couple of years. I'd like to have a shop at home by the time I'm want to move on from this job. So may be I can still do it on the side as long as no one gets pregnant.
Big thanks so far to everyone who posts. This forum has helped shaped some of my planning.
