Scott Linden author of The 100k Welder explains how most welders know nothing about marketing and that if they did thye could find a welding job. Also, he says that schools go about teaching people the slow way, when really hard to learn skills can be learned fast if you know the right welding procedures.
This guys full of shit. I know welders can make 100k + but you can't teach someone how to weld via book

I think he's trying to help the 'experienced' welder / fabricator send out resumes... Not teaching... You cant become a TIG welder vie a book, or out of a cheap Home Depot machine... Good TIG or even good MIG machines start at $2500 and usually spending $7,000 for good water cooled TIG(that's what my shop uses).
I'm a fifteen year shop/field welder/fab.

the best cheapest and easiest way to learn how to weld is to buy a welding machine from lowes and practice at home. you can look up "how to weld" videos here on youtube that are pretty good. specialy the ones that are videod behind a dark welding glass cus u can actualy see what is being done behind the welding mask. plus they explain everything about welding :)

@JustWonderingHowToDo
6G is a position that the pipe is in that allows you to qualify in flat, overhead, vertical and horizontal positions. The "G" stands for groove. There is also "F" positions that stands for fillet such as you would use primarily for plate and some pipe welds.
I am a welding inspector and former welder in the Nuclear industry. (I am actually at my desk at the nuke plant writing this)
What this guy says is only part of the story.
