And that is exactly why I haven't made a switch. I enjoy my lifestyle very much.

Hardest part of being a welder is telling your parents that you're gay.

huge demand for experienced trades people in Safety. The best safety people are those who have a background in the work and understand the challenges.
Typically pays better than the trade itself, people skills and communication are key, the training is flexible and available evenings/weekends. Demand for qualified and experienced safety people is increasing 20+% annually. Wide variety of options from out of town shift rotations in industrial where everything is black and white makes for a pretty easy job because all the answers are in the book and if someone doesn't comply they are fired and on down to commercial, residential, warehouse, shop, etc...
There is an element of safety within every company and industry now and it will only continue to grow.
I prefer the commercial construction area, we have guidelines but your always trying to figure something out and balance safety with production, it's a much more challenging and interesting gig....

I have friends that weld and they are a little crazy. One of them is changing trades because of respiratory issues.
I agree, only a few weeks and you can have your certificate.
I got my engineering degree, but my 2nd on my list was an electrician. Not a bad gig, mostly work indoors and not hard on the body like alot of other jobs. Had I did it again I would have probably just gotten my power engineering 3rd and eventually 2nd class... operators make ridiculous money...
We were all born welders. Some of us just evolved.

Change careers? I figure being an international playboy would be a nice gig. Problem is strutting around in the speedo... people would think I'm just another Quebecer on vacation.
