Boomer63,
Read the entire thread and was happy to see such a high level of honesty and professionalism. I am looking for a school right now. I live in Northwest Indiana about 40 min outside Chi Town. I am very courious about your program.

That kid did come and visit with me. I love to sign people up for my program, as it is new and I am growing it. But he wanted to go in different directions, so I sent him some place else. I gave him what I felt he needed most!

It is amazing how 'tight' this welding industry can be. Someone dropped a name on me yesterday, and I recognized the name, but as near as I can figure it was someone I worked with maybe 20 years ago somewhere far from here. From the description I got, I think it was the same guy ... humm ... still can't figure it out!

Anyway, with the level of guys in your shop on board here, I would imagine that the quality of work coming out of your place is very, very high! Keep up the good work!

Thanks, Gary!

Due to the nature of our work, there are no "whip-cracker" supervisors... We have a strong "quality over quantity" theme here, which our new-hires (recent and current students) are thriving on. They are learning all the details school has no time to teach (with no one pushing them to hurry), and enjoying every minute. I never considered myself a teacher (though I'm willing to train), yet I find myself teaching every day, and it is a bit addictive, when I see the light come on. :idea:

While I love the outcome of this thread, I do have one tidbit to add for those wanting to brush up on their symbols reading. Hobart has an online symbols reading course, work at your own pace deal that will cover the basics, and if memory serves me right it's $89. While I believe you'll get more from a traditional class, as an intro it's good.

That's not bad, for an intro. The symbols can seem quite complicated to the uninitiated.
