Hi there,
I live in UK and I am thinking about getting a job. I would like to get a £2000 a month job, I don't have to like a job, it is just about money. I was thinking about welding and I have some questions:
1. what is the starting wage for a welder? I have heard £12 an hour on contract
2.can you get more than this? does it progress? I met one welder that has 30 years experience and still gets £12
3. how long do you have to train to get a job? Is level 1 enough??
4. Do you need apprenticeship??(how long)
5. I have heard that pipe welders get even + £4000 (any pipe welders on the forum)
6. Is it good job for a loner?
I also consider Fork Lift Truck or Truck Driving, its possibly the same money - which job should I choose?
Thank You for every response.
