Hi Juliet,
Generally speaking, the only thing you need for welding is experience and training. Whether you get that training via taking classes, apprenticeships, or just on the job. A college degree is not something you'll need for a welding career. However the opposite isn't true, if you want to study engineering ( especially Mechanical Engineering) having hands on experience with welding can be a great boon to have.

Hi,
I am pasting in a link below with information about careers in welding, I found this by doing a google search "careers in welding"
http://www.careersinwelding.com/
Most of the time a career in welding in learned by going to technical college, usually 2 years or less, or by learning on the job through an apprenticeship. I would check with the State of CA regarding apprenticeship programs in your area.
Good luck!
