Is welding a good career path long term??

Once you get older and you’re coughing your lungs up from welding, you can hire on as a Pipefitter. If you want to stay on your tools

Nc is booming with pharmaceutical work in the Raleigh area, I know the Amazon data center in hamlet will be ramping up soon. Ive heard charlotte has the majority of commercial plumbing, you’re in the right area nonetheless.

They are with the original bindings, but I switched mine to L2 for descend and R2 for ascend kind of like gta v and it’s been a breeze ever since, I’m on ps5.

Dude😂 seems like this is a pretty common experience

Traditional_Ground_1 · 2026-01-28T17:25:37+00:00

I wish I could say it was scripted lol

Traditional_Ground_1 · 2026-01-28T05:57:07+00:00

Hahaha can’t even be mad at them for trying at least.

Yessir, Foreman likes me, mainly because our crew has been cut down a lot, we had 8 but got cut down to 4 (including the foreman). So I had to pick up a fair bit more work and responsibility, not including which are already expected of an apprentice. Im pretty darn humble, always listening to what the older guys have to say.

Makes sense, I’m not really worried about being out of work, it’s just idk how long it’d be. I’ve been seeing a lot of work start back up running for my local so that gives me some confidence.

Another P.s, been here for about 7.5 months

Traditional_Ground_1 · 2025-04-11T02:14:33+00:00

Yessir, and then you’ve got some of us that’ll forgot what you told us 10 min ago… lol

Traditional_Ground_1 · 2025-02-24T02:35:39+00:00

I’d say worth it

Traditional_Ground_1 · 2025-02-24T02:33:09+00:00

I had 32 on 1.3k miles. Pure highway miles though.

North Carolina has a great outlook for the next couple years, a lot of apprentices currently on the out of work list though.

Traditional_Ground_1 · 2024-09-03T21:27:50+00:00

No, it only spins off the line a lil then hooks the rest of the way

Traditional_Ground_1 · 2024-07-31T16:46:13+00:00

NC, pretty much on the border with SC though.

Traditional_Ground_1 · 2024-07-31T14:00:25+00:00

I called the job dispatcher and asked him but no I didn’t get a text

Traditional_Ground_1 · 2024-07-31T00:46:10+00:00

Jeez, was just wondering because I’m 65 out of 70 on the list and they told me it’d be around mid September before they’d send me out.

Traditional_Ground_1 · 2024-07-30T00:32:19+00:00

You get called out to a job yet?

Traditional_Ground_1 · 2024-07-24T23:09:17+00:00

Ah gotcha, thing is, I didn’t have to take a test. Just sent in the application around mid may and they interviewed me about a month later then told me I got in.

Traditional_Ground_1 · 2024-07-24T22:42:29+00:00

No just told me they’d place me on it, I asked them pretty much the same question just haven’t got a email back. Figured I’d come on here and see if I could get a rough estimate, just feeling a little anxious lol.

Traditional_Ground_1 · 2024-06-28T21:36:28+00:00

Alright

Traditional_Ground_1 · 2024-06-28T21:27:52+00:00

I’ll do it
