O/A is very useful, very difficult to learn. If you can become efficient at it, MIG welding will be very easy for you. It will improve Tig welding skills as well. The best welders I have ever seen are the old school O/ A airframe (aircraft) welders. Simple MIG welding would be an easy introduction to see if you like it. Many community collages offer intro welding classes, a inexpensive way to see if you like it.
