[QUOTE="RD-Sam, post: 613799, member: 7927"] Heavy Duty Mechanics - If you are a real go getter you can make some money, if you are a laid back person that just does what they have to, you will make a living and that's it. Welding - Better have an area close by that does aerospace or aircraft work, and needs a certified welder, otherwise you will just make a living. Or like the other person said, you will have to travel on a work crew and do work on pipelines and installs in plants to make any real money. You also have to consider the damage to your eyes if you make a carrier out of it, you will have some problems after doing it for 25 years or so. Electrician - Most I know do make good money, jobs in plants usually pay pretty good and have good benefits. Wiring homes and such can be tough in the winter. Plumbing - If I had to work on sewage lines I would quit in a heartbeat, guess doing new instalations wouldn't be bad, except the winter months. If I had to choose from those, I think I would go with the electrician, but I'm a machinist, so what do I know. :lol2: I also do all the welding in the shop, which I hate doing after 28 years! I have also done mechanics work, it isn't for everyone. Don't know how to do plumbing, but I am about to get some crash courses on some projects coming up! [/QUOTE]
