Other than knowing the correct mig feed speed for the thickness of any given material so that said welding doesn't collapse, or the percentages of oxygen to acetylene to avoid a minor, but life altering explosion, I would agree maths has naff all involvement in welding. well your not a welder clearly i would put money i could give you and some one who knows basic maths (gcse grade E) a WPS a Tig and get you to weld a basic 1G weld both results would be similar -

dissagree what i get from it is just because people struggle and fail at certain subjects doesnt make you failure but also as said already if for you success is measured on how much money you leave in your will thats fine to you, but dont think people who dont have higher eduction and 6 digits in there bank account are failures because there not -

haha yes but before i go all erm saddening on you that video kinda sank in with me 18-24 months when i was in quite a dark area having had my girlfirend shagging my mate behind my back and most people found out when i did as she left me straight for him in public and loosing a job, but i just sat there one day and must have watched that video and a few other alan watts pieces over and over again a bit brain washing i then just did start doing stuff i like and wanted one of the biggest reason i now have the Z and didn't care what people thought or said yea ok im not a formula drift driver making a living sliding, but i have actually made a start with the dream as some may see if you have no wish or get up and go it will never happen, never know till you ask -

Spot on. I agree that money is not the be all and end all. Also good grades don't guarantee anything. Learnt that after uni when I had to go back to working in a wind screen wiper factory just to find a job. I didn't actually think my degree was worth anything for a few years but then the last two roles I've had I couldn't have got without the degree. Doesn't mean I'm all that happy though. But then I get bored easy -

fair enough mate , but success isnt granted on your grade tho well it is to a amount if all you want is money and your own office,but what good is being the richest man in the grave yard, success can be grade in different ways im really jealous of one of the slow kid in my year who now travels the world with a company welding, no matter how far you've gone in uni doesnt make hands on skills, the kid was always creative and good with his hands making things but was useless at statistics and English because it bored him would i say hes successful being paid to travel the world yea and plastering images on social media so everyone stuck doing 9-5 in an accounts office doing the rat run,and these these people posting they hate there job there bored they wish there could do other stuff i would, hes earning half they are hes much happier and less stressed and enjoys what he does -

thats fair enough mate i dont now when you was in school but i left in 2007 my english exam and the 3 years before were basically spent looking into macbeth and another 1-2 subjects that were in the exams we covered nothing else, so when you pass that test all youve done is prove you know about them 2-3 things nothing else which i think is what its getting at, have i used anything from macbeth or mice and men since leaving school no so does me doing below average at english makes me dumb no because all it was is a letter given regarding the level of knowledge of 2 story's -
