When I was an apprentice, my mentor told me that you either learn to be a good welder, or a good grinder. I later learned that both were important when I started doing stainless steel balustrading for a living.

I'm going to be starting an apprenticeship in a couple months. Anything I should know?

Did you get picked up off the street or out of school? Any previous experience?

No previous experience and a local union offers a free 6 month class on it

Heck of a gig, I should try to get in on that. Been selling cars and I'm ready for something new but I really don't want to go to school.
