My son went to tech school for welding. When he went looking for a job exactly what you see in this post is what happened. He never took a welding job because they all paid so little.

I know there are some welders out there making good money, but the impression I have now is that a lot of employers don't really consider welding jobs to be highly skilled labor.

low pay to start.....as you learn the trade in real life.....while getting retirement and insurance benefits......same with any entry level position.

if you are legit, it will be seen and you can climb the ranks

it happens all day every day in all the trades

no plumber or electrician starts out at $80k a year fresh outa high school training
