Alberto welders may need a high school diploma or equivalent at minimum, but most attend technical school or community college programs to learn their trade, and employers prefer those with certification. On-the-job experience is just as important, and it's typically attained by working for several years as an apprentice.
WELDER CAREE OUTLOOK AND SALARY
Building a successful welding career requires good hand-eye coordination and manual dexterity, communication skills and problem-solving skills. Possible careers include welding inspector, welding fabricator, welding sales representative, welding educator, supervisor, welding engineer and foreman. Career options may expand for welders with more expertise and education. According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, welders are expected to increase by three percent between 2018 and 2028. The average Welder salary in the United States is $43,500 as of July 27, 2020, but the salary range typically falls between $38,000 and $49,000. Salary ranges can vary widely depending on many important factors, including education, certifications, additional skills, the number of years you have spent in your profession.
WELDER EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Welding education requirements vary by employer. Some employers require welders to have a high school diploma and require completion of employer-based welding tests. Other employers look for a certificate or undergraduate degree from a technical school, vocational school or community college. Welders may also learn techniques through welding apprenticeships. Welding education programs may culminate in a Welding Certificate of Achievement, Associate of Science in Welding or Bachelor of Science in Welding Engineering. Formal education programs may take anywhere from a few weeks to a few years to complete. Students in a welding program learn the art of heating and shaping metals. Required classes may include advanced mathematics, metallurgy, blueprint reading, welding symbols, pipe layout and a welding practicum. Methods and techniques taught in welding classes include arc welding, soldering, brazing, casting and bronzing. Hands-on training often includes oxyacetylene welding and cutting, shielded metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding and gas metal arc welding.

Hi Alberto:
Thank you for your question. I've researched a Welder's pay and would like to share the following information.
According to the Department of Labor Statistics, the median annual wage for welders, cutters, solderers, and brazers was $41,380 in May 2018. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 % earned less than $28,560, and the highest 10 % earned more than $63,740.
