For what it is worth, certified welders are in extremely high demand right now. While the rest of the economy is suffering, manufacturing, particularly, fabrication of steel components, is booming. People are working seven twelves throughout the US. My recommendation would be to contact your local union hall and sign up for an apprenticeship program. They will be more than helpful. Our trades are dying fast in the US. If you decide to stick with, welcome to the trades.
