Ways to specialize as a welding/electrician apprentice?

Is there any specialization that you wished they had learned earlier in your career or still want to learn. I'm also wondering about the average work conditions and hours, if they are heinous or relaxed. I am also wondering about upward or lateral mobility, the prospects of advancing to a more managerial role or some other adjacent or higher paying job.
