Hi to all

[pejky]

I've been reading posts on this forum for a days, and it's great.
I'm 18, electronics technician, but I'm living in a country where is over 40% unemployed people, and I'm one of them.
I have some expirience in arc welding, and I own some old Varstroj 150A welder (Slovenian brand) semi-prof. class.
I'm thinking about geting job as a welder, as it is one of the jobs that is posible to find (and it is good payed) here.

I already have some job offer by a company, but i would like to ask someone expirienced about the details of this job, risks etc.
Also, is it smart to start working as an arc welder, and then to go on a TIG training, to get TIG welder atest, as it is better payed.
I heard about lots of health risks for TIG welders, is it really so risky???

Sorry if there are any gramatical errors, as it's not my natural language.

You write in far better English than a lot on here, nothing to be sorry about!
My suggestion would be to take the job and see how it goes, build your skills up over the years and you'll be well sorted .
I'd definitely start off with arc/mma, you're likely to be using that more often than tig and mastering the rod will give you a good start when you learn tig. Regarding the health risks, all welding has an element of risk but tig is probably one of the lowest for fume production so I wouldn't say it was particularly dangerous as long as you take the relevant precautions.
Welcome to the forum by the way .
