So ive been thinking of dropping out of college and enrolling into a technical school to learn to weld. Though almost everyone ive spoken to about it has told me i would be making a mistake to do so. I do understand that welding isnt as high paying as a job like a doctor or lawyer, but as of now i feel like im just wasting time and money on a degree that i haven't even decided on. Is my plan that bad?
You do you. If welding makes you happy, go for it.
It's also relatively well-paying compared to other blue-collar gigs.
No its a good plan. Learn underwater welding and make fucking bank bro
