well im not in welding class but i am in a landscaping class where we never do shit, and today my teacher asked me if i wanted to learn to stick weld. so i of course said yes, well it was my first time ever doing it and he said i layed down a better bead than he could my first time so he told me to do it again and again and again, and i kept doing it so now he is begging me to sign up for a welding class next year because he says i have serious potential and he needs some people in the class that can get the projects done right.

Awesome, welding is a nice skill to have. It starts getting tricky when you start welding on the paper thin shit.

a couple of notes. NEVER, and i mean NEVER weld galvinized steel without the proper ventalation. (sp?) that is unless u wanna die. the fumes are very toxic. (so are my farts ) if u have a chance, start on a mig. a little easyer to learn on. now, lets see some pics. what kinda of welder are u using. (make and model)

X2. Also aluminum is tricky. I learned to weld when I was 12 and it is a very useful skill to have. Congrats on learning
