How much do welders earn yearly?

Answer 1

Well it's all about skill level are you talking about welding a lawn mower for your grandmother or welding p91 in a pipe rack in July...

I my self don't enjoy welding but it's all im truly good at when i first thought of welding i just knew the money was good. Well i was rite its good but what i didnt know was that the hours are long you never work neer home,if you have a wife you love then welding is not the thing for you. that being told ill tell you about the money.

my first job on the road was 700miles from home working 7days a week 12 hours a day and i was making around 1900.0 a week the job lasted two months not bad ...From 300.0 a week to 1900.0 a week i was hooked. jobs on the road pay the most. my plan was to weld for a few years to put my wife thrue med school well its hard to keep a marrage if you are working 84hours a week all over the us. I now have been on the road nine years, and the money is even better i take home around 3500.0 a week working 84 hours but my skill level is so much more than most. if you want to weld every day and have no time to spend your money and no one to spend it with then welding mite be the thing for you. im only telling you this is no one was there for me to let me know this before i started welding. if i could go back in time well.....................you cant turn the clock back ever so do your homework ! well talk to old welders we all have the same story or very colse to the same. Hope to be of help sorry the spelling isn't so good im a welder .

How much a welder can make a year depends on what they are welding and who they are working for. Welders working on large projects like ocean and air vessels can easily make six figures.
