A good spot to look is glassdoor.com. You can put in your career, how many years your experience is (or expected experience) and location to get a pretty good estimate.

I'm not a welder, but the answer varies depending on where you live, what kind of training you have, if you are union or non-union and who you work for. You can find out about areas you are looking to live in by using this tool: https://www.bls.gov/ooh/
It will tell you the number of people in a city or state with that job, the low, high, and median pays, and what the outlook is to be hired. With the skills gap in America, it shouldn't be too hard for a good welder to find a job, just might have to go where the job is.

In my opinion, you shouldn't be concerned with the money. You should first ask yourself; do you enjoy welding? Try starting as an apprentice of a welder, do it for some time and then ask yourself again, "do I enjoy going to work as a welder every day? The money will follow you when you do something you love.
