I'd go to someone like Bechtel and you could travel and work anywhere in the world. The more you are willing to travel with them the more you make. They take really good care of their people, training is unbelivable, have outstanding benefits and know what a work/life balance is. If I had to do it again I'd work for a company like that as long as I could, build up a retirement and then go out on my own after 25 years.
not sure what the best way to handle them is but they shouldnt be on tv and gettn married and raisin kids

I've been welding since I was around 16 been making a living doing it for almost 20 years. The best thing you can do is get on with a big company like KBR or BE&K and get into the pipe welding that's where the money is at for a combo pipe welder. These big company will hire you as a structural steel welder then fine tune your skills as a pipe welder while making good money as a structural steel welder. Don't settle for shop hand experience it's on the road out in the field where you will learn the most and it's okay for a single man easy to make 100 grand a year with a good company as a combo pipe welder but you'll have to live out of a suitcase.
If you've got them by the balls their hearts and minds will follow.

Offshore isn't going to be what you're looking for, right now. Companies are still desperately trying to keep welders working and not lay them off so they'll be available when the industry turns around.
Sign on with a pipeline, as a welder's helper. You'll learn a lot, make some money, and have your foot in the door when you're able to acquire a rig and start welding.
Your first welding rig doesn't have to be a 6 figure affair...BamBam bought his first truck, an F450, for something around $5000, already had a welding/utility bed on it, too. His machine was used, too...picked it up for another few thousand dollars, and he's still using it today. He sold the F450 and moved into a newer 3500 Dodge after a couple years, and may be in the market for a second machine, now, to have as a back-up, should the one he has ever go down.
