This guy is one of the most informative welders on the YouTube platform. Knowledgeable guy and he’s right on point. Keep it up y’all.

I appreciate breaking this down. Instead of just saying like every other goober on YouTube. “Hey be a welder, and make 250k a year right outta school!!”

[JohnLee-qzfk]

The fact that I went back to school to do welding is probably the best decision. I've made ever for me and my family. I start my second semester. I watch your videos constantly they're always helpful

My business made 136k this year so roughly about 75k profit. That’s at 21 years old first year in business. I took a couple months off this year due to not wanting to work in the summer.

Just started class on August 19th. Still doing research. I do appreciate every syllable of advice 🙏🏽 ❤

I was a general contractor for my career and did fine. If I had a do-over, welding would be top of the list!! 💯👍🏽

This was very helpful for me. The few people I've told I'm in welding school keep asking me where I'm going to work. There are so many options, that I'm just not sure where I'll end up yet. This video helped me see some possibilities though!

Hey, Thanks for sharing your experience.

A lot of good info buddy I’ve chased that dollar pipe welding for 35 years I gave it up 5 years ago and now I contract my rig out and I get by pretty good because of the location I’m in but it’s a lot of misinformation out there and you touched on pretty much everything. There’s a lot of imposters out there that are giving us a bad name contract welding

First off, I just want to say I love your content. I just bought myself a Lincoln AC 225 240V stick welder. I bought some of the basic tools and equipment: welding jacket, chip hammer, gloves, helmet, magnets, rods, etc. I have a few questions to ask: What pants would you recommend for someone to wear while they are welding? What electrodes would you recommend I use? Is there anything else you would recommend I would need to get started in this field? Thanks for the help in advance

I think what attracts me to these videos is its authentic.

I'm 25, have no clue what I want to do. Welding has always interested me. Maybe I should give it a shot.

Ran millions of 7018 on bridges for 16yrs. I’m 36 now. Reconstructed shoulder two years ago. Two ruptured discs in my lower back now, and have been out for 6 months, with another six ahead. Don’t burn your life away on the road, and your body.

Would love to see you guys do another “ How much you should get paid for welding” video

[josephineabdallah]

I am a beginner in welding. Thank you very much sir for the information. God bless 👍👍👍

[jeffreyreano]

i see many welders in my area run Toyota tundra's and i can understand why, they are not diesel but they are really reliable and wont break down if you do simple fluid changes and have a big V8 for torque to haul all their equipment but at the end of the day it comes to preference

Crazy I own a telemarketing company and pay $20 no experience and with bonus I have some making $1500 to 2000 a week. I pay $2000 a week for cdl car haulers. I start tomorrow learning how to stick weld just to maintance my own car haulers. I hope they are paying people with a special trade more than Chicago min wage with is 16.50 kids at McDonalds are paying almost $20 per hour.

[Stewpot-pl]

Coded welders used to be paid very high wages but they are emigrating to Canada, Australia and New Zealand because they get paid three times more because of what the politicians have done to British skilled workers

[klogan]

What position would you encourage most welders to get certified in at the bare minimum? I recently just completed 3G stick in my welding class at school.
