Can you get a good welding job without being apprentice trained?
i dont know what its like in the UK, but in Ireland, welders are demanded to have NASA specifcation welding skills and are paid less than a floor asisstant in B&Q, fact. Id love to do a stint in sanitary piping for a few years, but it just doesn't pay. Unless you want to be a pipeliner in Canada or Aus, its generally a bad paying profession when you weigh it up againt the skill level needed.
heres an example being advertised here at the moment for 14euros an hour. Mcdonalds are offering similar
