I (quite obviously, now!) used the wrong wording....should have said "someone personally experienced to the topic and exposed to multiple aspects of it in real life". As in, I'm not an "expert" welder, or AWS certified (possibly soon, though) but have done enough of it, using multiple processes, and hours upon hours of personal experience, burns, cuts and all, building and repairing a plethora of "things", that I can give an informed opinion about welding. Compared to, say, my knowledge and interest in the "Great Khan", of whom I have no personal experience, but I have read multiple books about him, his life, and the Mongols, and despite being able to give you good info....I haven't been to a dig site to find his burial place, or studied artifacts :roflol:
And I don't have a dog in the fight, just enjoy knowledgeable folks teaching others. You may continue....

We are all on the same side here, trying to better our lives....so let's get along and help each other out.
Learn a trade. Gain technical skills. Make money, then use this money to get a degree...if you have the desire.
