Welding is a very sought after trade in the US. Talented welders are very difficult to find so you are likely to be very well paid in you are good at it. The key is being a quality welder and understanding different welds and what makes them good. Employers will value welders that do it right the first time and they will definitely want to hang on to you if you are one of these.

My Uncle was a welder- and he was good enough out of it he was invited to work on the Hoover dam construction . One of my brothers is a union iron worker, so he works 50 stories up sometimes… From what I can see it’s hot, dangerous, sweaty, and critically important to the infrastructure we depend on. Gisèle is spot on about quality of work. I’d add that spending time with older welders who are willing to teach you the skills as one of the single most important things you can do if you really want to a good at welding and make a career out of it. Third, Learn and use every safety regulation on the job!
I’d also recommend you consider taking yoga or tai chi specifically because the better your balance is the safer you’re going to be in a welding job whether you’re on the ground or 15 stories in the air.
