I have some time on my hands and wanted to go through a trade school. Auto collision repair or welding? I know that they teach you a little bit of welding in the collision course but besides that. Can't decide which course that I want to go through first so I figured I would get some advice from a couple of you that might have gone through either of them. Thanks guys.

Take everything.
Auto collision is a good field and it will touch on mig welding, but a baby can learn that.
Welding is a very good, precision tig welding or stick welding is the way to go.
and it's also nice to know automotive.
I can do everything, I took classes in auto, paint/body and welding.
It's fun being able to do it all, plus you can make some extra money on the side.
First? I'd do welding. I love welding.

^Appreciate the advice man, I plan on taking both. The welding course is in my home town but I would have to travel for the collision repair. Thats one thing making the decision a little harder. I could always go to the collision repair out of town then when I finish, try to get a job related to that back home and be attending the welding at the same time but I just can't make up my mind. Sometimes it just helps to step back and view other's opinions. Thanks again.

Ive completed autocollision and mechanics, and now I'm taking welding.
Welding is where the money's at though. Welding will open a whole new world for you.
Do it all you won't regret it.
