Merry Christmas to all my wrench buddies.
I figured a quik update once again.
I did some technical classes through work. The engineering portion was hard but I did ok. The tig went good. However I may not use those skills anytime soon. I took a position working in the field for 7 months or so, starting soon. I have done some field work but nothing like this. Ile only be home a few times so ile miss my family. If I choose later that I don’t like the field I can go back to the shop. Either way ime pretty happy with my career. I remember a highschool teacher telling me the unemployment line is better then welding, but I disagree. I had paid schooling, paid tools, an still cleared 65k this year. Next year with recent training an no schooling or tool deductions an traveling bonus I could easily make 100k not including paid travel expenses. Money aside I love what I do. For me I don’t think there’s anything better. I know there’s easier jobs but it’s something I trually love.
Once again merry Christmas.
