You can do a lot more (i.e. lot more job options) welding.

If you want to go into mechanics, IIRC the best paying is plane/flight stuff. Can't think of the proper name

Friend of mine got into that right after high-school, finished the program in ~15 months, and landed a salaried job at ~30k/yr within a month of completing the program at the ripe-old age of 19.

On the other hand, a younger guy I know who went into welding, does various jobs. Sometimes he makes $500/wk, some weeks $1000+.

I think I'd like to be in the welder's shoes because his jobs change frequently.
The plane mechanic works on different stuff each day, but its always in the same building with the same people.

Man, this could be the spark that gets you on your way, OP!  I'd jump all over it if I were you.

For the hardcore, there are always jobs on the pipelines. Welder helpers making 40-50$/hr while the welders make 80 and up. Do it for a few seasons and you can rack up a huge nest egg with all the spending you won't get to do while you're away from home. You can learn a lot of different welding procedures in only a 2 year degree.

When is death our lone beholder?
When would we walk the final steps?
When can we scream instead of whisper?
When is the new beginning,
and the end of this sad Madrigal
