Someone mentioned welding outside in his yard and that he like gas. Using gas outside is not practical at all. Gas is expensive and the air currents will blow the shielding gas away. It is why most of the portable rigs are DC stick welders. It can be done but not really practical. Buying a welder is not a great idea until AFTER you've learned to weld..then you know what you prefer and will do what you wish to do. Too much money to just throw up in the air and see where it goes.
There are lots of good community colleges and even some HS that offer evening classes for adult education.
