Highly skilled welders who are willing to travel and/or work in hazardous conditions can earn well over $100,000.00 a year! The key words travel as far away from home or dangerous conditions. Here are some examples of welder salaries:
Traveling industrial pipe welders earn anywhere between $50,000.00 and $185,000.00 a year.
Underwater welders can earn $100,000.00 to well over $200.000.00 a year.
Military support welders can start at $160,000.00 to more than $200,000.00 a year in the Middle East.
When it comes to welding, salaries vary a lot. It all depends on how skilled you are and how far you are willing to travel. Local welding jobs typically don't pay much or require a lot of skill. On the other hand, if a student learns to weld pipe and is willing to travel then the salaries are almost too good to be true. As a welder, your career is what you make of it. You can earn as little as $20,000.00 a year and live in poverty or you can take your career seriously and shot for the top. Welding is a career choice that rewards those who want to be the best and are willing to travel the world to earn top dollar.

According to BakersGas.com, the average salary for welders is $36,720 per year. If you really want to make the big bucks, underwater welders can make upwards of $56,000 per year! Most welders work about 40 hours a week, however if you're really good, your manager will want you to stay later - up to 70 hours a week - the more you work, the more you get paid! At the end of the day money is cool, but what's most important is that you're happy. I wish you the best of luck!
