Oldest wants to go to trade school and potentially pursue welding, setting him up with a summer gig to see if he will actually like designing and welding pieces of manufacturing equipment.

Sounds like a good plan but most likely the experience he will get in a summer gig will consist of being the brunt of a bunch of pranks and humorous interactions with his co-workers, most of which will strangely seem slightly if not outright homoerotic in nature. He will probably get to get break and lunch a bunch and sweep and load trucks. He probably won't see much designing and welding....but he will hear some strangely homoerotic comments and jokes most likely...
