thanks
do you know any underwater welding companies in the uk??
I think lots of young people hear stories of welders earning a grand a week, welding on site, that's possible but they don't realise that you gotta be doing 7 x 12 hour shifts and including your digs allowance in with it......
That welder now works in an area that makes Siberia look like a picknick ground and yes... 7 x 12 hours (or more) is no exception.
hardly ever sees his missus
Not all bad then
To earn the big money you either need to be self employed (but certainly still no garantees as i'm sure some of the guys on here would agree!) or become a contractor and be prepared to work any where in the world at the drop of a hat usually on short contracts.

(1) Urban myth
Done that & know lots of others doing it, Loads of money available BUT if you can collect whats due to you, you then have to give most away to suppliers, banks, staff, taxman. IF you show a profit taxman comes back for more. If you show a loss - no help.
You can make a modist living but you wont be a Bill Gates.
If you are young (2) is a good option.
