Be a carpenter.

From what I know is it is difficult and also a good career. As with everything, be better than others and you will have a job.

Fucking DO IT, op

Underwater welding is a good way to die but you get paid a ton for it.

Like any trade you get out what you put in, if you expect to skate by you're going to get passed up by someone with more drive than you

Underwater welding is much harder than it sounds.

First of all it's stick welding, which fucking sucks. Stick welding on land is terrible, can't imagine underwater.

I'm 23 and I'm a TIG welder. It's a great job, but it wasn't easy to learn. I had hand tremors and they were causing me problems during training, but an iron supplement and practice fixed the issue.

MIG welding is super easy, TIG welding is more precise. Obviously tig pays better because it takes more skill to do.

Almost zero math involved besides basic measurements. Most jobs you'll be working will teach you exactly how to weld the parts they need and very little flexibility. So the parts I weld for my company are handed to me with a blueprint that has already done all the math.

The best parts about welding are it's easy when you become skilled, it's interesting because you are constantly at risk of being burned so you stay in the zone and the act of welding is fun, the pay is good, you are a High Tier factory employee (Work at a shop that employees young women and you are viewed at a higher status than the sheet metal workers, assembly, etc), and you are never stuck. So many companies hire welders so you always have the option of leaving state/the country and starting at a new job somewhere else with ease. It took me an hour to find a job, I just went to an agency. If I ever need a new job I can apply to places on my own or get an instant new job from the agency.

It's a humble, secure, rewarding, career. The head welder at my shop is a millionaire with fifty days of paid vacation time a year so it definitely pays off. Welding is so second nature to him he's been mentally retired for at least a decade. He leaves whenever he wants, takes days off, goes around the world, and has a pretty wife, nice house, kids, and is constantly buying cool shit so he's definitely able to toss money around.

If you have a strong work ethic and aren't a slacker, welding is a solid choice
