my mom wants to pay for me to go to a welding school.
    #18899746 - 09/27/13 05:42 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I can see the benefits, and it would be awesome to have credentials i can use to go get a job, but heres my conundrum.

I've never welded a day in my life.

I'm leaning towards trying to do soemthing automotive, just because it interests me, its useful in everyday life, and ive always wished i knew more about cars.




I need to do something. my car just took a shit, so there goes the rest of my savings. i really dont want to take a loan and get stuck at a shitty pizza shop for any considerable length of time.

If you could be 21 again, and pick anything, what would it be?



From NE US if that matters.

Between those two options go welding hands down.  Mechanics are whatever but a good welder can pull in some serious loot and the jobs are constantly changing creating a dynamic work environment.

I taught myself oxy-acetylene welding and then I got an apprenticeship with a good welder. he once told me that on an old job he made 100 bucks an hour welding for a company that makes bridges as long as he used his own equipment.
  also if you go to dive school there's a big industry for underwater welding:thumbup: I knew an underwater welder who only worked a week a month and he was living the life.

Dude she's offering to pay for you to weld, you can make some good cash welding. And you already say you're interested in automotive, well welding would be a very good start and is such a useful skill to have.

As a welder, you have legitimate reason to acquire tanks of nitrous  :super:

Only reason I personally wouldn't want to weld is all the poisonous fumes you end up inhaling - and just the generally caustic environment you end up working in. The act of welding itself is rewarding and interesting though :awesome:

I met an underwater welder in a hospital who said something about how the average life expectancy is like 5 years for that. Imma google to check, but it still says something about that.

I'm halfway done with my degree in HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and AC). I thought about welding, but couldn't see myself wearing all that gear on a daily basis.

I have no problem wearing the gear. I used to work in 100% coverage. I didnt think about the nitrous...

That's crazy that you mention underwater, because ive been saving money for dive classes...

Gonna look into the life expectancy though...
