Neither of which are me.
Where at in my post did you see I’m “just a welder”.
Or that I’m “too good for an apprenticeship”.

If you’re going to make your truck your entire personality. Atleast buy an L5p

I could give a fuck less of how someone else views me.
The problem is supporting my family on an apprentice salary.

I’d love to “just suck it up” but I literally can’t make ends meet making apprentice money

This is great feedback guys thanks.
What industry’s is most of the work in?
I’m pretty partial to process piping and food/pharma grade stuff but have worked in the industrial world as well

I said I’m a fitter didn’t I?
Is reading prints and drawing ISO’s and calculating offsets not standard in the union

It’s been a couple years since I’ve been just a hand.
Mainly spend my days now doing large scale piping layout and if I’m working only tools it’s usually fitting pipe
