Do the machining.Math is not so bad.Once you learn it then you can do other things as well.When I was a kid in High School there was no machining class to take or I would have.Welding is like this,if you get a job where they want you to weld they probably will teach you there.You can go to welding school after learning how to machine.Welding is not so big of a deal as some try to make it.Yeah there are jobs where you need a bunch of qualifications,but there are lots of jobs that you dont too.Welding is easy for some people and impossible for others.Welding burns your skin,clothes and has a lot of nasty smoke that you dont want to breath.If you want to weld you can but I would take that machining class and not even look back. I did take a class that I got talked into when I was in High School and was only in it a couple of days and saw it wasnt for me.Typing.I thought it would be good to learn it but when I got in there it was terrible I thought.So I got out and did something else.You should try the Machining.If you cant hack it you cant hack it.I also had Algebra in High School and thought I was going to flunk it but I had a good teacher and did real well in it.Machining is by far the better career in my opinion.Welding is not a bad job,but its not really something you want to do for the rest of your life.There are worse things for sure,but look at an old welder some time.They dont have an easy of a life as a machinist.Plus I dont recall being in a machine shop seeing them up on top of something 5 or 6 stories high machining on it.You can get in some places welding that you might not like too well.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
