Underwater welding — there’s a handy skill.
I almost got into that 30 years ago, wish to hell I did I could have been retired by now.
I set on that path over 32 years ago.
You get rich or dead.
I got neither.
“Underwater welding theres a handy skill.”
The welder I use finally closed up his shop. Is having shoulder surgery and it would be a year before he could work again. But - he is an older guy.
He will still take his once-a-year (sometimes twice!) safari to Africa.
I didn’t pry, but in conversation it came up that after the Navy he went into underwater welding. I was surprised he was still welding at his age. But you could tell he enjoyed the specialized work that he did.
“Yeah - it pays for the cartridges.”
