    Yeah, volcanologist, seismologist would also be cool. But from what I've seen there aren't as many jobs available and they don't get paid as much. Anything would be a good start, but ideally I need to do a Masters yet. Then Mud logging or something :)

    Its a lot about getting a feel for it, once you have the basics its just about practice and asking people who can do it for tips.

    Mig is a breeze compared to tig

    As said above TIG is supposed to be more difficult. But i took to it quite quickly i am not codded but i do a fair bit cryogenic stuff hear at work so no leaks of any kind. Its a coordination thing both hands doing what you want and a foot pedal. Like driving really once you get the hang of it simples.

    Its not bad Gymbob. I am fairly new to car modding so i am getting to grips with that. Forced induction is the next project for me i think.

    If your not coded you really shouldn't be doing any cryo stuff, that's supposed to be done by qualified welders and then NDT'd afterward.
    If your work is caught using non-coded welders they can get into DEEP shit !
