Very good pay and steady work . If you are a decent welder,you will always find a job . Most companies have medical benefits ,sick days,personal time and vacation days . Some companies have pensions while others have 401K’s with company matching. I’m not familiar with the job market in Texas,but there are a few aerospace and defense contractors there that pay decent money .

Hi I'm a welder and have worked a variety of jobs. Pay ranges drastically on the work. I have seen anywhere from 12-50 per hour all with different scopes of work and demand; this all depends on certifications and what the job is. Before welding I had a variety of jobs most that didn't offer insurance or benefits. That being said most of the time benefits are pretty standard across any type of job. Some jobs do have amazing health benefits but nothing else. Some will offer less health coverage but give you things like a yearly tool and boot allowance, discounts on phone plans, and other benefits. You could also join a union and have a retirement, vacation pay, contractor paid insurance, etc. But the bottom line is benefits across the board are never the same but you should almost always be able to find work with some benefits.

Hi Friend!
I'm not a welder, but I do know that you can go on Indeed, type welder in the search bar, your zipcode in the location bar, and you will see real time position info, hope this helps.
I just ran a search for the entire US, and there are over 2,000 open, full time, Mon to Fri, entry level welding positions, with an average start rate of $20-$30 an hour, most with great benefits.
Go for it!
