Hey guys. Currently in SC and I am looking to get out of my current career due to low pay and no real advancement opportunity. Going back to school to do what I should have done 6 years ago instead of getting my current degree. I'm going to go to the local tech school and take welding and machine shop classes to gain some more experience with metalworking. Already do some crude welding and fabrication at home just to get stuff fixed and I enjoy that kind of work a lot.
Once I get some basics under my belt, what should I be looking to do to get on with a company and find work? I'm told some of the welding and stuff down here is union. Should I try going with an apprenticeship program with them if they offer one? I don't even know how to find them and get in touch with them at this point.
