If joined the Welders Union it wouldn't make me a welder.

Just sayin'.



Actually, you've got it backwards. One must first prove their ability on the job as a welder in order to be considered for membership. Apprenticeship and all that counts, as do certain certified welding schools. There is also the various underwriter's tests, such as the old Hartford License for pipe welders, in which they must demonstrate certain abilities by performing actual welds which are then proof tested by pulling those welds apart with machines. Every part of the pipe can break but your weld areas.

Years back, joining the Musician's Local also came with an audition, plus recommendations from other working musicians. That's sadly all but gone now, although there are still the character recommendations.
