I agree with everything you said except for "I am very suspect of votech schools because the teachers don't have the vast experience in all welding techniques in real word environment but its better than nothing, dont get me wrong any knowledge is power."
Before I was even considered for a votech teaching position in Oklahoma I was REQUIRED to have a minimum of 10 years of trade experience. This was consistent across the board for all OK Trade & Industrial teaching positions. The same is true for the instructors at community colleges in Kentucky where I now reside. While this not true across all states it certainly is for the vast majority of those who have vocational-technical education in high schools and technical colleges.
BTW, my doc is in Occupational & Adult Education commonly called workforce development, so this topic is included in my knowledge base.
