How did you get into welding, and what fascinated you most about this profession?

Claas Jeworowski: Back in 9th grade, I wanted to do an internship as a mechatronics technician for escalators and elevators, but the company wasn’t accepting interns. I then found an internship with my current employer. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to start my formal training there.

My ego and self-confidence.

What advice would you give to other young people considering a career in welding?
