Become a Master Welder, Make a Million, and Retire Young

I wish I knew what I know now. Tradesmen are needed. They are the ones that are going to eat in the future. You can make $1 million being a tradesmen and you can trade that million to buy assets that pay You to own them. This video is to encourage young men and women and older men and women to get into the trades. And invest wisely.

Hey Talor, i'm 68 and retired as an Elelctrical Engineer and Softwqre Salesman. When i graduated from High School i took a job in a Fabrication Shop. From a grunt I advanced to a Tacker for the Fitters. The Company wanted someone to go to Welding School because they had won a Contract for building Pressure Vesals, meaning all X-Rayed welds. They asked me and paid for me to go to the Lincoln School of welding in Cincinati Ohio. Completed the schooling and came back and certified on my first try. Did that for 2 years but didn't pay crap. Then went to college and got my degree in EE and that served me well until I retired. My roots has always been welding. Loved it always. Now I have started back and believe or not Im still pretty good. I love your videos. You go over lot of stuff I had forgotten about over the years. I now pactice every day for about 2 hours welding channel, pipe, everything i can get my hands on. build a Carport and an addition to that carport. next project is a boat shed 26' x 28. Just wanted to say thanks for the Videos.. Helped me get back up to speed. Keep up the good work. Dean

[@TaylorWelding]

That’s cool, Mr. Dean. You sound like a man I’d like to meet one day. I appreciate your comment. If you have any questions or video ideas, please let me know. If you’re an electrical engineer, you are crazy smart. Good job, buddy.

Thank God a guy who's saying what I have for years..college not for everyone..but trades should be...

[@moonlambo5229]

Thank you for the valuable info. I'm 20 years old in welding school and I think this is exactly what I needed to hear.

[@TaylorWelding]

Good deal nick ! Your the kind of guy I’m after. Let me know if you have any questions.

[@nicholassulpizio8282]

Thank you sir, I do have a question. The class I’m in is teaching the basics on all the types of welding. Would you recommend any particular field or type of welding for someone like me to get into? I’m interested in stick and pipe because of how versatile it is and the money you can make.

[@JRP026]

There’s fabrication shops, manufacturing shops and in the field welding. Manufacturing usually pays the lowest although lots of overtime, you’ll probably have pre-made parts and do a lot of welding. Fab shops are usually smaller, they may pay really good or not. Depends on how they do with their business and what you’re capable of. You may not be welding as much because there’s a lot of other work to be done within the job. In the field welding usually pays the best because of the travel pay. Some people love it. Others just want to be home. There are trade offs to all.

[@moonlambo5229]

OMG I wish I learned what you were learning at 20! You legit could retire a multi-millionaire by 30 if you follow this guys advice. Learn about money and learn to spot trends early.

[@GageWhite-t6h]

[@osbaldohernandez9174]

Grandpa did trucking dad did roofing I’m his first son to do welding and I’m proud of it

[@wadepatton2433]

Debt is dumb, Cash is king. Make money by working (welding or whatever) and budget to save, spend to survive, invest in your future, and when the investments and savings are flush, you're the King. Limit the playthings and vacations until you've got some money accumulated (no consumer debt). Then you can do what you like with the rest of your days. It's a great lesson but only learned late by most.

[@unequal_fabrication]

You need to mention working for someone as a welder in a shop pays peanuts. You need to work for yourself to make good money welding. Most welders working in a shop make less than $20hr. I left welding in a shop 6 months ago and started my own business. Best decision I've made

[@TaylorWelding]

No doubt there but you have to learn first .

[@aaronmcclain1279]

Talyor . I agree I have been watching you for A few months . I work in trade it's machining . My welding is just bandaids and glueing. I have been in the trade since I was 22 I'm now 34 . I'm not rich . But I'm paying more attention to what your saying .. he really touched on something when you said you was talking about being dyslexic you know like in school I always thought people that would dislike sick or had ADHD was going to turn out to be nothing in life and some of us have found how to take our disability is we can put it into more creative jobs like the trades you know you have hung your skill and able to make the living you need I want something about being dyslexic or having ADHD that helps with the trades because you're very focused you're very driven you want to learn this it's something you can do with your hands maybe you should make a video about that you hit it on a little bit on this one but like myself you know I had to overcome my problems with learning and stuff like that because I knew I wasn't never going to be a book guy you know I went to college to be a gunsmith done that for a while and decided I was going to get into machining and I've been in it ever since now at 34 years old I'm wanting to change careers and going to HVAC our maintenance because it has the best of everything welding machining electrical now kind of like a mill wright . you know there's a lot of people out here paying attention to you and thank you.

[@TaylorWelding]

Man … thank you for that thought out bad ass comment! I struggled in school that’s for sure. And I’m gonna talk about Being dyslexic a little bit more. The truth is 70% of dyslexic people are millionaires. Who du thunk it! Lol It’s a gift. I knew good and well I was not going to be a book guy. That was probably the hardest part about me getting through school is knowing I was not going to use 70% of the crap they were trying to teach me. Machining is an awesome craft. They are underpaid in my opinion. Good to know you brother.

Thanks for sharing. I really like the way you explain things. It isn’t rocket science. It’s just a different way of thinking that took me 28 years to discover. The struggle was real, it was humbling, but it was God’s path for me. I had to figure it out the hard way. Also, when I did plumbing, I remember my boss telling me, it’s called a trade because back in the day people used to “trade” their skills within the community to built the community. Everyone had a different trade/skill. Awesome video.

Side question I’ve always had. See a lot of Americans rolling pipe with small rods.. are you guys typical not allowed 5mm and 6mm 7018? I’d normally run a few 1/8” 6010’root, 3/16 7018 hot pass and a 1/4” 7018 cap on a 8” std weld.

[@TaylorWelding]

The reason I don’t use bigger rods is because we cannot have any Parosity. Bigger the rods bigger the problems. And it’s hard on my leads and welding machine.
