Hey I go to the Whittier Regional Vocational Technical High School and I study in the shop Metal Fabrication. At the school we do welding and metal fabrication in this shop. I am a sophomore, and I am going to turn 16 January 01, 2010. The question I have is when will I be able to start working as a Welder? Am I able to do it as soon as I become 16 or do i have to wait until my Senior year when I am able to join Co-op.
Top Answer:
You can start working when you turn 16 and someone wants to hire you.
Turning 16 should be easy, finding a welding shop that wants to pay you will probably be harder, but if you want to start a welding career the sooner you start logging hours the better.
