If the chick from “Flashdance” can do it.
I am a retired pipefitter and there is a big difference between welding on a trailer and welding pipe. That being said, there is a huge shortage of qualified welders.Good welders today wouldn’t think of hiring on for less than $32.00 an hour plus overtime and bennies. If you think you can’t afford a good welder, see what a bad one will cost you.The last place I worked before retiring had about a 90% mexican work force,mostly legal, maybe a few that weren’t but let me tell ya, the quality of work was some of the best I ever seen. This was all 100% xray work. We had some welders go 6 months and never bust a weld, that tells ya something right there. The pay was decent but we were allways short handed for welders but this was shop work where you actually welded your entire shift, not field work where you might make one or two welds a day.
