Become a Welder

Worldwide there is a critical shortage of welders. When I talk to a young person about job prospects, I always say, learn how to weld. The courses are not expensive and everyone wants a welder.

  • Most welders are nearing retirement
  • Schools direct people away from trades so you have less competition for jobs
  • The pay is better, and no large student loans
  • Advanced welding is complicated, leading to further expertise in areas of automation, basically putting you at the top of the hiring tree
  • Welders are better looking
  • You are everybody's friend
