There are lots of "welders", (most farmers qualify for this), but there are very few welders who can meet the certification standards for work on pressure vessels, out of position work, welding on exotic material, etc. I took the opportunity to have an ex-Royal Navy, welding instructor show me a few things and he was willing to teach me a lot more, while I was working in the North Sea, but over the years I have forgotten most, if not all, of it. This is why I am a great believer in stick welding. If it works in the oilfield, and heavy duty fabrication, it will work for me. (I spend a lot of money on overkill, but this do-it yourself, consumer grade, and homeowner "quality" junk, is money wasted). The only downside is, that when the boom ends, there are a lot of good welders looking for work. But to be fair, I have seen a lot of third country nationals welding that have learned their trade by experience
