becoming a welder

[nsrammstein]

Soon I will take a welding test if I pass it my pay will be increased to $25 an hour including the lunch break hour, I currently earn $17.50 working in the communications business I used to be welder at this company but the pay was very weak and now I got this offer to come back and weld for $25 an hour, is this a good trade off?

You could buy more Rammstein stuff with the extra cash.

Let's do the Math

Based on a 40 hr work wk.

17.50 p/hr = $700 p/wk, $3,033 p/mo, $36,400 p/yr

25.00 p/h = $1000 p/wk, $4,333 p/mo, $52,000 p/yr

I know what I'd do :greedy

That depends, what beni's his employer offers, what they cover vs what he may have to pay out of pocket

you are looking at a $15,600 gross salary difference

Show me Da Money!!! :greedy

If you go independent you can get ALOT of jobs.

Hell, if your in the SA area, I could give you some work.

Welding sucks.


A good welder can work in industrial construction and between per diem as well as hourly + overtime, can easily gross well over 100k/year.
