Welding is when you melt metal & put them together. Its used to build & repair parts of a car, air planes, ships & etc. Some welders work at railroad shops & high departments Some welders use computers & robots to help them work & others do it at home
For this job you need a high school diploma. You can also go to Vocation schools, trade schools, junior and community colleges for training, they have training for welders
Like plumbers, welders always use their knowledge science & math. They also make calculation to know fuels or chemicals to use. You also need to keep track of your hours so you need to get your numbers right. A good welder can tell you how many times 3/4 goes into four and a half without having to look for a calculator Welders say “measure twice and weld once” because it will save you time
I'm a welder, I been working for 6 hours straight & get paid $75 an hour. I need to know how much money I get paid.
I been working for 6 hours straight & get paid $75 an hour. Which means I’m getting paid $450.
I'm surprised that welders can work as many hours they want but it all depends on what your working on. The hard part about it is that I need to be good at math & science. I also need to be good at problem solving & calculating which I'm not really good at. I have to be fast if I'm doing this job but I think it will be a little bit easy because I'm better at doing things physically.
