So you want to be a welder
Someone once said there is a difference between a calling and a passion for something. Such is the difference between a professional welder and a hobbyist. A lot of people want to dive into welding because they like it, and they want to know more about it. But fewer have a true calling for it. Being able to recognize whether you should keep welding as a hobby or turn pro might be a difficult thing to ascertain. But in general, testing the waters before jumping fully in is a good idea.
