I can only imagine, the candyass kids getting spatter burns while welding, and ignoring it to keep a steady hand...Funniest thing I've heard lately is I've heard at work they are looking for five 18 year olds to trane up as welder fabricators
The ones we've had that turn up for the interview are never seen again once they see what's involved
The ones that do start leave by tea break
I wish I was joking but that's the way it is
I'm guessing the management have looked at our aging workforce and decided they'd try and do something about it

Working at Cowley Oxford plant in the mid 80's, fresh recruits were first given a 1 week alignment course in a training building. They mostly did that bit as it was classroom based but the majority just did not last the first shift on the assembly line. Those that did make it through the first 2 weeks on dayshift then decided that, as the night shift was paid at time +50%, that part time attendance was the way to go. 2 days on nights was enough for them to live on and also pay for the next 2 nights out on the town. When told they had to attend all 4 nights this made up the minds of the rest who promptly left to resign on as unemployed.
