Don't waste your money on a fixed tint helmet cause you're going to get an auto-tint hat eventually anyway. They aren't that expensive and you'll have enough things going on without being almost blind until the welder strikes.
Stick welding blows but it's a good skill to know. You can bend a rod and get into some really tight spots. I turned my stick welder to 110 when I was plugged into 220 last year and burned it up. Don't miss the cursed thing though...yet.
I grew up w my dads and grandads welding shop behind the house but I only weld once every couple years and I'm still a hack to this day. Never had a weld break though.
