I would imagine the price for the light option on the Miller would be more than the Amazon unit. Plus not as bright.

Where are you taking the class Greg? I took a summer class in 97 at American River College. It was I think 10 weeks/4 hrs a day/4 days a week. I was working grave shift, 11-7. I’d get off of work and get to class at 7:45 and off just before noon to go home and sleep. It was grueling and I was a zombie but most of it stuck as I’m a pretty decent welder. I have an ancient miller 200 or 210 (I forget) mig machine. It’s big and bulky but has lots of power to lay it down.

A buddy of mine from Lincoln signed up at Sierra College in Rocklin, I signed up afterwards.
Our class is 8 weeks, two days a week, 4 1/2 hours each day so there is far less time than your course, Travis.
I'm enjoying the classroom stuff more than I did as a kid.
Years ago, I thought of what I'd do if I ever won the lottery or somehow fell into money....I figured that I would quit work and take classes to get better at what I enjoy doing. I'd pay professionals to mentor me to get better at bodywork and paint, engine building and of course, welding and fabrication.
I obviously never won any lottery but I'm still interested in improving myself.
It would be interesting to take a course in understanding electrical systems. That has been a real weak spot for me.

Another PSA for those welding who may not know. When using brake clean, or similar to de-slime what you're planning on welding, make sure it's evaporated off before pulling the trigger/striking the electrode etc. If you don't, it turns into Phosgene gas. AKA, nerve gas/agent. Very bad news.
