Yeah, I missed that. I know a LOT of travelling welders. They can make good money, no doubt but they are also working in an atmosphere that I wouldn't want my son to be working in.
Before I make this next statement, everybody recognize I'm NOT TALKING ABOUT ALL WELDERS WHO TRAVEL.
A whole lot of those guys get strung out on various types of drugs. Meth is a big one. There are many crews around here that travel and weld all weekend while plants are down. Most of them TIG weld stainless. Most of them make about $15-$18 per hour not including per diem. I agree that the construction life takes its toll on some people. Some of them are nothing short of pure roughnecks when it comes drugs. If they are welding pipe and only making in the %15-$18 range: 1) They're not much of a welder. 2) They need to drag up and go somewhere else. Pipe Welders in the Decatur area along the river make anywhere from $23-$26 You do understand that that is still right at 50k, right?
