Sparkies live longer than welders. Manual welding these days is awful; it's pipes and spaces too restrictive for robots. You can also branch out into datacom which generally makes more money and is less dangerous.

Yeah im leaning towards electric. Gonna take forever to start working let alone get an apprenticeship. I wonder if it was like that in the past or not. Gonna take an 8 week welding course regardless of everything in march just because i want to learn it for personal hobbies.

Theres wireman or datacom for the apprenticeship. The journmanyman pay is about 15 grand less for telecom but im wondering if i can learn it still in the future.

I worked in a welding warehouse where the dudes had to monitor the robotic welders. It wasn't uncommon for them to fall asleep
