@mattrieck: Welders can make up to $200,000 a year in Industrial Construction. People are ignoring this job because it is hard work. But you know what? Being broke is harder. 6-9 months depending on the certification program The best rated program is the American Welding Society. AWS.org Pipe, Rig, Tube, Combo Welders, and Underwater Welders are the highest paid. You will make far more as a welder if you specialize in Aerospace, Underwater, and Nuclear. To get all of the best certifications it can cost up to $4,500. Far less than the $60,000 to $100,00 that college cost now. Yes we listed the high end, we are trying to show people the potential of the career and specializations. The trades and beating college out by a huge margin these days. If you are a welder please let us know on what you paid and how long your school was, and how much you make to help others. #Welding #Welders #Trades #Metalwork #Fabrication #Construction #Manufacturing #Skills #Craftsmanship #TradeJobs #WelderLife #WeldingArt #MetalFabrication #Industrial #Engineering #JobSkills #Workmanship #BlueCollar #Career #SkilledLabor #Building #ConstructionIndustry #Fabricator #WeldingCommunity #WeldingNation #Metalworking #Craft #Handiwork #TradeSchool #CareerPath

That Random Guy :
stop lying....only welders making 200k a year are underwater/oil rig welders. starting welders maybe make 19-25 hr. with no experience will will not be welding unless you find a company willing to train. as a beginner welder, youll be a helper..no matter how good your welds are. knowlege is K. is it hard work? hells ya it is. depending where you work get ready for 10+ hour shifts 4-6 days a week. rain or shine. yes if your in the field you can make good money. but 200k is way out of reach. beginner Welders: practice your TS AND over laps (in all positions), these are the normal go to. im still learning after 3 years in the field, be humble and listen. dont be cocky..wont get you anywhere.
this what i did today. not great but for me im happy.

Nothing Is As It Seems :
15 years ago before my husband passed he was a contract pipeline/refinery weldor (yes Weldor is the man. Welder is the machine). Owned his rig. Was bringing home $3650.00 a week! Work hard, good pay.

TickTakToeTok :
This is a little misleading. Yes it’s possible to make 150-200k a year, but that’s not very many ppl at all. Production welders in Houston make between 15 and 30 an hour with most around $20-25/hr.

Alexander Dominguez :
Hey I turned 18 just last month and just graduated, and I been thinking about what I really want to do or learn to make money, either college or trade skill such as welding, and I just wanted to know where I should look as far for welding and what kind of welding there is, and if I need to take a certification or class to take.

I met a woman plumber the other day who started her apprenticeship at age 43. Friend of mine went to school at 60 to be a sheet metal worker. Do you see people in their 50’s going into the trades?

Does every welder have to have his/her own rig? Even if you’re not a pipe line welder?
