hi all. shot in the dark here but i am a 35 year old woman trying to figure out a career change. i’m interested in becoming a mechanic and/or a welder. i’ve worked with my hands most of my life and have briefly worked in a metal shop years and years ago so i’m kind of familiar with the ~vibes~ but i didn’t retain much so i don’t know where to start. i dont have much money so i’m curious if anyone knows of apprenticeship programs where you can work as you learn (besides BIW) or a program with financial assistance? any (kind) advice would be appreciated!
