The technology for cerebral digitalization is still far off. Most of todays robots are mere animatronic puppets with limited versatility. >_>

A city near where I live has a bigass welding college. There are big sculptures everywhere.

:D

Yeah, there isn't much else for welders to do after all the factories are closed. Might as well make art.

regardless of our area being economically fucked, the welders seem to do all right. The college is thriving.

"I call this sculpture "I can't even afford to eat cat food"."

Shipbuilding, automotive, railways, construction, aviation too many areas to where welding is useful ^.^

So long as there's people, stuff's gonna need to get built.

Yeah, in China and Mexico.

I always wanted to go to live en Mexico.

Have faith in thy economy, creatures of capitalism. For thy shalt be blessed by our lord Mammon. ^.^

Yeah, I've given my countrymen the benefit of the doubt from 1986-2000. I'm all out of faith.

Welding is typically required in trades such as plumbing and carpentry. So far they haven't started building houses in China and Mexico and shipping them over (well, not here anyway, maybe they do in the US), so there is going to be a need for welders since house building should be happening all year round.

Unless things are really fucked.

Welding is popular at the community college here in eastern Canada, and after graduation alot head out to western Canada (BC and Alberta)

If I go to the art school here, I could totally take that welding for non-welders course and write it off on my taxes.

Why didn't anyone tell me the song "Modern Guilt" was good?

beck? and i used to know this chiq that welded intricate metal sculptures and furniture. pieces looked evil, my ex had a headboard made by her that looked like victorian vampire/goth shit.

sure, let's go with that.

sry i've been trying and mostly failing to not be buried in despair since comicon :( I DONT HOLD MUCH HOPE OF IMPROVEMENT ANYTIME SOON

I think we're all forgetting the most important thing about welding and that's the one chick from Jaws: The Revenge.

there's this one place in town that makes custom rod iron shit for like your doors and windows and such and it looks really bad ass on a house :O

plus it sells for a shitload to rich douchebags in town :O but that was before the foreclosures started hitting :O

how many of you have parents bugging you for grandchildren? does it ever end?

Yeah, When they die.
