    I’ve been welding for 28 yrs now. When I had my rig I had a Lincoln pipeliner I would only use that machine for big jobs. When I did little side jobs I had a Lincoln ranger. It was good to have 2 machines. Your starting off right bro you got a good head on your shoulders. Burn them rods. Keep learning cus learning will never stop. LEARN AND EARN. I’m 52 now, now I want to drive an 18 wheeler in my second part of life. You take care and god bless you. ✌🏼out.

      If you are in high school and already have access to the tools of the trade you are ahead of the game. Sign up to get your associates degree in welding from a local college. Then practice practice practice. Make your practice the highest of quality, everything you do make it the highest quality you are capable of. You are worth the amount of time you have spent mastering your craft. If you put yourself in the mindset of top quality work everything else in your job will come easy. I’m 23 so I’m only a few years ahead of where you are at rn. I’m a stainless tig welder but it’s all the same among well paying welding jobs. It’s about showing them they are paying for your top quality welds.

      Yeah I never said I stay with the same company year round, sometimes I'll leave for better pay & other times the projects come to an end so they have no reason to keep me until they get the next project. I said I don't stay unemployed for long since I show that I'm willing to work. I've only been out of a job for like 2-3 weeks this entire year and most of my jobs come from companies I've worked for before or an old coworker that gets me on where they're at.
