    you gotta think... in welding there is such a broad field. if you compare just "welding" to auto mechanics id say thats not really a good judgement of how much you can make in "Welding"
    in welding sure you could start at 46,000 but your room for growth so long you improve your skills is great, working on cars? ehhhh you gotta be a REAL hustler or work at a dealership to make over 100k in auto mechanics, in welding there's probably x times the opportunity to make over 100k being rig welding, your own business, pipeline, custom fab, the list goes on.... so to compare the two just like any other job listed in the fashion you did is not proper info. this could be my opinion though.

      @CareerWatch  2 года назад +1

      There are a lot of variables that go into comparing occupations/careers. Geography is a huge one. Welding is a great choice, but in specific markets, especially where the cost of living is lower. Also, better to do an occupation you have a high interest in. Working in a career you have a high interest in doesn't feel like working, giving you more endurance for overtime.
