Hi Ethan, if you think welding is a career path that you would enjoy, then it is very much a path worth pursuing. Welding is a skill that is currently in high demand, and it looks like it will remain in demand for years to come. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, "employment of welders, cutters, solderers, and brazers is projected to grow 8 percent from 2020 to 2030, about as fast as the average for all occupations." According to the website PrimeWeld.com, welding is one of the best-paying skilled occupations in the country, with a typical annual pay of almost $40,000, or approximately $20 per hour. It's also an accessible career because a high school education is generally required to begin learning the skill (or GED). I would recommend getting at least a few welding certificates from a trade school or technical college in your area, though.

If you are interested in welding, I strongly encourage you to look for a trade school or technical college near you that has a welding program. I recommend visiting that trade school or technical college and getting more information about their welding program.
