Thanks everyone this is just the information I was needing. I have no problem staying sober. I dont even drink socially (family is full of alcoholics) so I stay away from drinking and smoking. Im 24 so kinda getting a late start at a career but not too late. I have no problem observing and learning. I prefer to lewrn from people with hands on experience. They teach you stuff no book can. And if someone offers to teach im always willing to learn. Thanks for all the info.

You are never too old to start a new career with the possible exception of the NFL. I was thirty years old when I decided a retirement would be nice and decided to become a Correctional Officer. I was the oldest guy in my academy class by far and I finished in 1st place. I was thirty four when my wife left me and I took the opportunity to go back to school. Right now I go to the same college as my eldest daughter and have three associates working on a bachelors. You CAN Do anything you want to. It looks like you have the drinking thing figured out and your attitude about it is wise. One thing you have is drive and work ethic. My agency hires Eighteen year-olds and I am amazed at the kids we get here that have no idea how to work. They just don't get the feeling of satisfaction that comes from doing a job correctly. The biggest challenge I see for you is with the availability of unlimited overtime comes the challenge to keep your sanity. I killed my marriage because I was working 100-120 hour weeks (She basically got very used to not seeing me and when I was home I was exhausted and grumpy.) Money is nice, but it don't fix everything. Remember who you are and you will be just fine. Congratulations and good luck.

Look into ABC school. If you got to work for a company as a helper and show interest a lot of them will sponsor your tuition to ABC. And it's 2 nights a week and its all welding. I did this when I was in highschool and when I graduated I could pass any welding test out there. The more you practice the better you will get. And over its 3 hours a night burning rods. Good luck.
