A welder connects metal parts together using a welding rig that melts the metal allowing it to bond together. I wanna be an underwater Welder because I like being hands on and welding metal sounds fun. I also enjoy the water it is also cool.
Some of the things that require Welders is an Oil rig, boats, buildings, cars, submarines, and a lot more including repairing things not just putting them together. The navy needs welders because they are constantly putting something together that requires a welder on site. The demand for this technical skill is not going away; it is only increasing. Because of this , there are many grants and programs that offer payment to be trained and guarantee a job after successful completion of the training.
The annual pay for an underwater welding is 50k-150k. This is the same level of pay a college graduate might expect after 4 years of tuition and full time education. The total cost per year of a Virginia university student is on average $25,000-$38,000. Instead of spending that money and going into debt, a young person like myself can make twice that amont a year as a starting salary in underwater welding. To me that is a great investment.
