Hassan’s Answer

This is a tough question to answer accurately since your salary will depend on your training/experience, the type of job/company, and location.

https://waterwelders.com/types-of-welding-jobs-careers/ gives you an overview of different welder specializations.

https://www.indeed.com/career/welder/salaries/El-Paso--TX says about $18/hr which puts in near the bottom of this https://www.salary.com/research/salary/benchmark/welder-i-salary/el-paso-tx range.

You could likely command higher pay if you complete a solid training program or apprenticeship.
https://www.epcc.edu/Academics/AdvancedTechnologyCenter/welding-technology has a Welding certification program that may help you get started.

Brandon’s Answer

Like Hassan mentioned in his post, the answer will highly depend on your experience as well as the qualifications you have in welding. This can also depend on the type of workplace you are trying to apply. Generally those that have proven experience and some kind of certificate or degree of some sort would make a higher wage than those that do not, but that can also depend on how you are negotiating with the company and whether or not they will actually agree to your salary demands.
