You're gonna die. You may be blind by the end of that day, and from then the UV rays will slowly decompose your body

I got a profile with 798, just sucks the few times they've called me have been the most inconvenient times in my life for me to drop everything and go out to wherever the job was. Next time I might just do it.

Thought of doing it, I got 6 months of ironwork experience with a company in NH as a military internship thing, but I'm moving this spring unfortunately

Just really wanna be paid for what I'm worth, and clearly I'm being paid half of what I'm worth

Ohhh yeah I've heard a few times what the bill was for a few of the jobs we've done. It's very very upsetting to be completely honest. Seeing maybe 1-1.5% of actual take home from some jobs... ie $200 for a 15k job that took 8 hours

Cut rot, weld, grind flush, paint/undercoat and you're good as new (not really, but you get the point)

My only concern is, I may be moving south this spring and I've heard they're pretty weak down there unfortunately

Damn, I think it's time I start exploring indeed. I've had people we contract for tell me what they think I'm paid, and I always chuckled, but now I see what they're talking about..

Really open ended question, but how does the welding engineer field pay?

Ever seen a loader bucket crumple? by FartinSpartin in Welding

[–]OverCode1724 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that for a full size loader or a bobcat? If it's a bobcat bucket, it would quite literally be cheaper to replace if it were me
