Is welding something you want to do with the rest of your life? I did the follow the footsteps thing and joined the navy. Did my time, but it wasn't what i wanted to do forever, ya know? Made a great resume buff though

fucking your mom?

If it's not factory nonsense then go for it. You can easily save up a ton of money very quickly if you're not a retard. Also real welders are highly sought after.

Welding is a good job, anon.
I'm a roofer. It's one of the most dangerous jobs. My dad was a French teacher. I have my own small business- three roofers (including myself), two plumbers, an electrician and a secretary.
I love my job. My Mrs. Is an intensive care nurse, so when I get messed up.....
Do something that you like. Not just follow your dad. Sure, be a welder if you want. Be something that gives you fulfilment and meaning.

Do what makes you happy. That'll make your pops proud.

Just make sure its honorable, pays the bills, and supports you and your own.

I went to school to learn to weld. Worked in the field with the pipefitters for a couple years. Pay was good until the economy took a down swing and there was no work.

Started selling cars and makin good money cause I like bullshittin with people.

Got offered a job last year to run a welding supply company. Nothing massive around 60 employees. Now have a fancy car and truck, I live In one of the more prestigious communities in my state.

The point i wanted to make is that you should go after welding but always remember to diversify your skill set. Young men that have a combination of both blue and white collar experiences under their belt tend to do very well.

Good luck kid! Work hard and listen to your dad!

I'm working on getting a welding and fabrication degree from my community college right now, while working at a local company that is training me in practical welding. By time I get my degree, I'll be ready head to Texas and benefit from the big Trump economy boom.
If Trump can manage to bring back the heavy industry jobs we've lost overseas, welders will be sought after even more than they are now. And as it is now, we already have a major shortage, which means high pay for people in the field because demand far outstrips supply and that dynamic is only going to get larger.
