Welding is not for everyone. I am a Combination welder working in FL, I make $25 a hour. I also travel, so i get paid 75 dollars a working day. That comes out to be around $375 on top of my hourly pay. On 45 hour work week i make around $1300. This job will last for maybe 3 more months. After that i have to relocate, maybe to NC, this new jobmay actually pay more too. I do industrial work power plants, paper mills, chemical plants, and concrete plants, but i have to travel. If leaving home is not a option, shops are available. The pay is around $10- $13 dollars a hour. If you do drugs and cant really weld,by all means hire on there. If your a better person hire on with a company that pays $17 and up. These people understand welding! Places that build generators or airplane parts.
Anything important. Don't go weld for "Joe's Metal Doors". If your a illegal alien do it!
All in all, go for the top in welding. Work in a place where they respect the fact of a person exposing themselves to harmful rays and chemicals in the welding Fumes!
