It took me 10 minutes to learn how to weld. If you only need it for DIY stuff then it's very easy to learn. But if you need to satisfy safety requirements or tolerances then it gets much harder.

It's the same as in software: All those people who think they know how to do programming because they can whip up some shitty python script. But that's the easy part. Making an application that works superficially is practically trivial. Making something that is proven to work, that scales and will still work in 10 years is where the money is.
