Re: [MBZ] More on welding learnings
Take all the courses, based on the educational principle If you throw enough mud at a wall, some of it will stick. Either take the courses, which you will enjoy, or be forced to play golf in the hot sun with drunk people 4 times a week.. Welcome to retirement age.. ;)) IMHO, of course..

Re: [MBZ] More on welding learnings
Get the Certificate. It will look good on the kitchen wall when SWMBO has the doctor buddies over. A guy I know at a CC who was in change of continuing ed had a sheep seller's licence on the wall. He never sold sheep, but he was one of 3 people in the state licensed to sell 'em. He did it as a lark. A few years later the state revoked his license because they figgered out he never sold any sheep. My buddy has been taking serious baking classes at the local tech college (he is a retired doctor and loves baking though they wanted him to take an English test to make sure he could communicate well enough to learn) and tells me that it is free once you hit 60 years on your meter.

Re: [MBZ] More on welding learnings
Hey, if you are not going to actually make any real use of it, you can make your own certificate. You could even get it printed on a T shirt. I suggest your certificate state that you got your training from the MBZ Online School of Welding and that it certify that you are potentially proficient in the welding of Mercedes Benz models of relatively ancient vintage.
