I studied IT in Germany and went on to work for global corporations. I can tell you none of their shiny "it's great to work for us" movies actually feature passionate and genuine people like this one does. I bet Jason didn't need a script. Just pure love for what he does. Amazing.

[@theewelder]

college jobs are dead...not needed..........way to many are on call,,,and the rest are in major debt...

[@calebs.calling]

Damn the ability to travel but still be financially stable is exactly what I want

[@davidleblanc9676]

Well look at you young man I was a member of AWS for about 10 years certified too. Iam retired now but I made a good living so always go forward

[@penelopejoann]

Thank you for explaining some of the ins and outs of welding. I’m enrolled in a California community college, Shasta College in Redding CA this summer, beginning welding. No experience whatsoever, in fact I spent a fortune on a liberal arts college degree and have gotten nowhere career wise in all of that time (26 years!!). I want a skill that is highly technical to give me an edge. I was surprised to learn that there is “book work,” in welding. Math definitely isn’t my strong suit, but it’s a challenge that pays off. Builders create and leave their mark. 🎨

[@mattfoster2642]

I grew up in a welding shop. I was 3 years old when my father opened for walk in work. After 20 years of growth ,pancreatic cancer took him. I now make a great living welding and machining in the hydro world. My wife stays home because she wants to, and she can. Dont be afraid to get dirty. 150,000 $ is very possible...

[@Max-cq7ni]

That's the dream man

[@scottwin646]

Truly inspiring. I honest to God could not find a trade or major to pick (that is enjoyable, job security, and good pay) as a backup in case I get injured in my preferred career of Law Enforcement. This video has gave me more reasons that this is my second preferred career. Thanks mate, good on you Jason.

[@azzythechristianfurry]

I’ve learned stick and TIG with a bit of MIG. Haven’t managed to get a job. Even entry level ones are wanting 2-5 years experience+ college degree.

[@steveaumann6335]

Good video bro👍👍 I also started welding in 11th grade at Great Plains vocational training in Lawton Oklahoma and I retired after 42 years welding pipe. I’m well off and enjoying retirement. It’s a great profession especially for those of us who don’t want office work.

[@hatersgonehate1812]

I hear you , literally they have robbed me of my initial passion and desire for welding. I hate my job , all of my past welding jobs and I don't see any future, mainly because I am a female.

[@LordButterstotch]

What it's like to be a welder - live paycheck to paycheck, most shops compete with McDonald's for wages. You won't be able to support a family. You get to be severely overworked. You get to have knee replacement by the time you're 40. Benefits are nearly non-existent.🙌

[@FlyWeldinGuy]

Lol that’s 100% false. Not sure where you are welding..

[@LordButterstotch]

@FlyWeldinGuy GE aerospace... $23/hr... pass by McDonald's on my way to and from work with a sign posted $20/hr.

[@elevationsickness8462]

The fact you think McDonald's would actually pay anyone 20 an hr is more of an endorsement to the welding industry than this video is

[@LordButterstotch]

@elevationsickness8462 My mother works at a pizza place, making $20/hr... the chef makes the pizza, and she puts it in the oven. When it's done, she takes it out... making $3/hr less than I do at GE aerospace welding jet engines with over 10 certifications.

[@braydenbedard1225]

⁠@@LordButterstotchI can’t agree more. People think the welding industry is money money money. Just wait till they step into the door of a “unionized shop”. Welding is a great career don’t get me wrong. But most businesses that aren’t owned by millionaires are hiring for 20-25 an hour with next to no per diem. Sorry to admit but welding just isnt what they say anymore

[@theweldor757]

Title correction ! What its like to be a WELDOR ! I have stuff in 5 countries with my name on it . Ive ben to 4 other states training other shops weldors to get certified . First thing i teach them is how to spell the word correctly ! I am a WELDOR ! I run a welder ! Its not hard ppl ! Spell it right !

[@FDLola]

damn… ya so the machine used to weld is a welder and the person who uses it is a weldor. older books have it correct but newer ones do not. so what do we call the machine used to weld if we’re now the welder?
