Im thinking about becoming a Welder i am 17 and plan on going to job core and i want to become a Welder.Is it a good job? Good pay? Is it hard to get a welding job? What kind of Welding jobs are they?Are there different types of welding jobs?I have bad hand writing and can not draw worth a damn is this a job for me?
haha sorry i know alot of questions but thanks for everyone who helped.
Overall welding is a good career, no matter how advanced things get there will always be a need for welders. Good welders get good pay (IE 15 an hour and up) just starting out you will usually get the short end of the stick until you prove yourself (you will usually be a helper just starting out and will eventually work your way up the ladder depending on your skills)
If you have steady hands and decent vision you have potential to become a welder. Landing a job as a beginner can be difficult at first if you have no experience, but there are vocational welding courses you can take and some companies have apprenticeship programs where they teach you, and sometimes pay you to learn.
There are many different types of welders. Usually if you work for a large company all you will do is weld. Most of the guys that work for smaller outfits will be responsible for many other duties like measuring, cutting, fitting....and on and on and on.
There are the good aspects of a career in welding like job security as I mentioned above, and the ability to get a job almost anywhere.
The drawbacks are the manual labor which will wear you down, and lots of other health problems it can cause from breathing toxic welding fumes for years. You have to be open to being burned and shocked daily because it will happen...but you get used to it XD. It helps if your not afraid of heights because the need to be high in the air comes up a lot. Not trying to scare you off, but no one told me this stuff when I signed up for my welding course. haha
Its interesting work, and you will usually work with interesting people to say the least.
