Apparently specialized welders make 100k+ and are set for life. user, you can make it big time. Why aren't you part of this ?
Thinking about applying course in welding. Anyone went this route or know people who did ?
p.s. I made £9 hour working in retail. Feel really stupid now.

Trades are fucking where its at. All the idiots tell you to get a degree so the trades are woefully understaffed. You can write your own ticket if you do this. Fucking go for it.
My friend does deep sea welding and he makes a killing doing it
My brother is specialized welder. Works for GPE gas/shale/drilling company out of west Texas makes 200k a year. He's set to retire by 35 thanks to living intentionally like a broke ass and investing all of the rest.
But he said never do underwater welding, from the time you start your life expectancy becomes 10 years from the first time you go under.
Holy fuck, why? Chance something goes tits up and you die or something health related?
Check the link above
>Set for life
>Can die while working
literally this, i am a diver.
many newbies talk about how 'cave diving is cool', which it most certainly is. about in the same way as riding a motorcyle is. totally awesome until you fucking get in a deathly situation.
these jobs pay high because your likelihood of death is 10000x higher than a fucking office job. re: this video; i dont think you faggots have any idea how disorienting a cloud of mud can be. as pressure equalizes around your entire body it's hard to determine up from down.
open water is a little more safe, but fuck everything in the video above
>But he said never do underwater welding, from the time you start your life expectancy becomes 10 years from the first time you go under.
as said
read above
ama faggots
Delta P will fuck you up dude
Whats the pay like? How often does mud fuck your shit up? How retarded are your coworkers?(ie is there a realistic chance of you dying because someone else fucked something up?)
It's incredibly dangerous, and the likely hood of succumbing to success driven bias leads to a ton of fatal accidents because people get lazy in taking shit seriously.
> danger
i'm 34 worked retail for cents my whole life. I dont mind dying that much.
based
>poor
>small chance to die
choose one
good luck not dying or not having fucked up vision. great way to breathe in fumes lmfao.
Enjoy getting sucked through a 10 cm diameter hole in a pipe, retard.
Check out the sat diving school in Houston.
OCEAN CORP. They're a good one and by the time you finish the oil patch will probably be back up. Alternatively, go to the Seafarer's International Union's 1 year apprenticeship program up at piney point. You'll get out with a B Book, AB rating, and can make some good fucking money on a time on time off rotation.
>Whats the pay like?
i'm a recreational master diver so you work with a lot of people. think being a software engineer and having friends in different walks of life.
>How often does mud fuck your shit up?
almost any time you get close to the bottom of anything, every time if you're diving with someone relatively new or renting their equipment. shit's hard to calibrate unless youv'e used it before (weights, fit, everything)
>How retarded are your coworkers?
as above, but, pretty much any diver that's not a padi newbie is serious as fuck because you all have heard of stories where either someone you know died or you felt you were going to die yourself. diving is amazing, but you have to be safe. it's like doing drugs and operating power tools/heavy equipment, just don't fucking do it.
>is there a realistic chance of you dying because someone else fucked something up?
even on a recreational dive, actually. the purpose of the buddy system isn't to make sure you have a friend to have beers with/fuck their wife from time to time, it's to make sure if something goes wrong they've got you. i like to dive with a group of 3 or more at all times, because i really like having a second seat belt.
real talk though, if you're interested i'd highly recommend giving it a try. kind of expensive, but it's like doing acid. even just a few times and you'll remember it for the rest of your life.
plus you get to meet animals that are bigger than you, which is fucking crazy

I spent 30k and went to CDA for commercial diving underwater welding is a fucking meme, and even with a 30k dollar unrestricted DCBC license I was told that I basically had to "earn it" spending an additional 2-3 years at sea tending and being a gear bitch making $10 an hour. Commercial diving and underwater welding is joke and only hyped up by the diving schools. The pay is shit because every month about 100 "newly certified" divers enter the job market so the companies have a never ending stream of starry eyed grads to abuse and toss. Long story short, commercial diving is a meme and you can make the same $$$ with a CDL hauling cross border hazmat.
Welders dont make nearly that much. Underwater welders can, but you can only do underwater welding for like a couple years before it wrecks your lungs and you arent allowed to dive anymore. Im an industrial electrician, the welders at my plant make about $19 an hour.
Do pipes suck pepee as nice as sis?
There is so much shit that could kill you in very painful ways. If you dive deep the oxygen in your lungs gets compressed that means compared to earth level your lungs would never be able to take that volume and if you surface too fast your lungs will explode because the oxygen in your lungs expands again.
I just hear people making a lot of money in welding and wonder how true it is. Whats the average pay ?
google doesn't help much here. I guess bls website is only reliable way. Can someone post average pay for welders in US from bls website(I'm not from us, get "access denied" screen). Is that what the average pay really is ?(i.e. At least in eastern europe people in trades get a lot of money working extra (unofficially, no taxes) and gets +20-30% on top of they salary).
Check out the byford dolphin incident. Some divers were doing saturation work where they keep you at a certain depth without decompressing you because its faster than having a 9 hour decompression after EVERY dive. Instead they just press you down to depth and then you do your diving work, ride a pressurized bell up to the surface and lock into and live inside a topside habitat that is pressurized to the working depth. Anyway, shit got fucked up and one of the pressure locks failed and the entire habitat experienced rapid decompression. You can google the pictures but they dudes essentially exploded. They found a spine lodged in the ceiling.
That's not how it works but it's still extremely painful
>Coward, Lucas, and Bergersen were exposed to the effects of explosive decompression and died. Subsequent investigation by forensic pathologists determined Hellevik, being exposed to the highest pressure gradient and in the process of moving to secure the inner door, was forced through the 60 centimetres (24 in) in diameter opening created by the jammed interior trunk door by escaping air and violently dismembered, including bisection of the thoracoabdominal cavity which further resulted in expulsion of all internal organs of the chest and abdomen except the trachea and a section of small intestine and of the thoracic spine and projecting them some distance, one section later being found 10 metres (30 ft) vertically above the exterior pressure door.
kek, they got sucked through a 30cm opening in the doorway in the span of a few milliseconds
>but it's still extremely painful
4u
Die by 50 after inhaling aerosolised metal and the banking jew gets all the money back
hope the money was worth it wagie
also clean that shit up, jannie!
Underwater welding is extremely dangerous by comparison to other skill fields. Regular welders do not make 100k. Usually 10 or more underwater welders die a year. Compare that to carpenters/electricians/HVAC.
If you’re passionate about it, go for it IDK
Would you say it's worth getting your padi? From my experience reefs are already stunning at the surface level as long as tourism hasn't completely annihilated them yet...(and even then a ~200/300m swim along the coast vastly improves the quality of the reefs...)
Is the quality that much better at "depths" or is the experience just that different being 30m deep?
Scary shit but it doesn't happen that often. It's like joining the military, the odds of dying is 1 in smth Alot.

Any construction/manufacturing labor is basically selling your body's health. The only way to get "set for life" is to start a business or earn enough money early on to invest and compound interst on gains.
I got mine in the Philippines. It's scary as fuck the first time you go down, but after you get used to it it's just amazing. If I make it with crypto my dream is to be a deep sea explorer and search for ancient ruins.
based as fuck
>byford dolphin incident
i just watch this youtube video:
youtube.com
apparently they died so fast(fraction of the second) that they dinn't even felt it. I reckon the pain receptors didn't reach i brain in time
Seems like it would be worth effort then..
