job description

for years as i was coming up in the trade (power plants), i used to allways hear the phrase "thats not in my job description". now 22 years in the industry i find myself relieved that i did not fall into that p.o.s. way of thinking. being a welder for most of my career, working at N.A.S.A. , having pictures of my welds in catalogs and magazines , being a welding instructor, welding foreman, a third party Q.C., a mentor to many young men trying to take a foothold in this very elite industry. I have allways found myself falling back to basic skills .... iron working, boilermaking, rigging, fitting, the fundamentals needed to be a success. i pride myself knowing these things, because they have gotten me farther than i could have ever expected. surround yourself with talent, and you to will become talented. needless to say i do a little of everything and very little welding as of late, but when i do people come from all over to see who is this welder they call BULL....... be diligent, work hard,
be good, be safe.....
