@UpAndComing are you about to get a certification? Look into getting pipe certs if you can. Idk what part of the country you're at, but ive been seeing pipe welding jobs that pay 30-50$ a hour, plus daily per diem. Really the best thing you can get into welding wise right now. All this fracking going in. Especially in Texas gulf area.

I’m a plumber but I don’t weld. If I’m installing gas pipe over 3” I have to hire a welder and I WISH IT WAS ONLY $50p/h. Last guy I paid $1300 for a day and a half.

My goal is to get a 6G cert in Stick pipe welding and TIG pipe welding

Hell yea.
It’s not like they’re unassuming more like desperate and willing.

Took my bend test, too much porosity so it failed. I'll try again Monday

 

[UpAndComing]

Passed my 3G welding cert test

Welding is fun, I used to weld back in the day and was about to take my tests before I decided to back to school. You work in a shipyard or around another type of fabrication plant? You prefer stick or machine welding?

Work as a Truck Driver
I applied for Welding jobs, but if you don't got the certs, they only pay you like $11/hr . So I'm back in Trucking until I get all my certs to command a higher pay. Won't be long, might be in like 5 months

Tryna be a Pipe Welder and TIG welder, most likely in fabrication
