    thats great if your welding for jay leno. ive been welding for 22 years. i have 6-6g welding certs, and blacksmithed for 13 yrs. but every time i go on craigslist or other welder job postings around the country, all i see is “need experienced welder pay-$14-17 per hr DOE” is this where a life time of perfecting my craft has lead? hey jay, how bout a job? welders need to stop excepting these jobs until the companies have no choice but to offer more. unfortunatly we also have to feed our families.

    According to studies. By this time next year, 2010, once all of the welders that are in class now have graduated or whatever and go to work, there will be shortage of 200,000 welders. that is world wide. So get that certification and get welding. Pipe is wehre the money is. Unless you do some kind of specialty welding. then the money is endless. (save save save)

    my point was related to the fact that the auto industry just went tits up, and the construction industry is suffering hard too. They are by far the highest employer of welders. I was laid off from building aerial scissor lifts myself, I know a lot of unemployed welders right now, so if you want to point them to this endless source of work, be my guest.

    The fact is nothing is 100% secure and NEVER will be.

    I work in HVAC,not welding and have learned through the years that engineers have little to no grasp on reality when it comes to doing any trade related job.I have more respect for an experienced tradesperson than some degree holding clown who never worked with the tools.Anyone can draw on paper with a computer program,it takes real skill to decipher those drawings and make it fit.
