    I am 14 years old and welded since 13 and I have an old Mosa MS170 engine driven stick welder that was made in Italy in 1973 and are very rare these days and that thing could go from 70 - 170 amps. And people my age are going to have to eventually replace the old people and almost all the people my age only show interest in computers and do not realize the good and fun that comes out of welding.

    You definitely are correct about the fact that we need more women in the welding industry but we also need more kids in general

    I am 60. I took a welding course 18 years ago to learn to use my grandfather's acetylene torch kit. Might take a 200 hour course so that I have something new to learn.

    I took a basic welding class long ago. I remember the teacher owned his own welding business. He wanted to teach days, but the schools told him he needed to get a master's in education to do it.

    I took a cnc class earlier this year and the teacher was telling us that he taught a 75 year old guy to use the Haas cnc mill. I was ok, but not too good at it.
