Also, Specialty welders such as Rig welders are about the highest-paid welders in the world. They work long and difficult hours and they have the most advanced educations and qualifications. If they make a mistake, it's going to be cataclysmic, so companies only hire the best of the best for these positions., The average Rig welder in MA makes approximately $85K . Rig welders in CA make an average $ 89K a year.

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!

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.
