I feel fortunate, at 23, I've dabbled enough to have learned stainless sanitary welds, I would like to do more tig aluminum. Do plenty of mig work, mostly stainless, as well as stick, mostly stainless.
Squirt guns are fun, love them for quick repairs of light material, but still prefer the heavy stick welds for the heavy materials. A few months back I picked up a Miller HF, used it to repair a sheared spindle for a case 530, so far its holding up. I've slammed the front of that tractor a few times.

Learn your alloys, protect your eyes, get a CWI and you will never lack for work. If you like to travel, there's 3 million miles of gas pipeline that needs to be inspected/repaired and they're always adding more.

One of my good friends just came back from a pipeline in Romania, he was there for 6 months and made in the 6 figures. There is good money in it if you know what your doing and are reliable, but you have to be able to travel he has been all over the world and is only 25. He now has a wife and kids and just quit welding and is getting a job here in town, because he doesn't like to be away from the family that much.
i learned to weld mig, tig and stick at a young age, and im glad i did...not many people i know can weld so that leaves me to do it all, but i enjoy it..and im like randall...id love to have a job as an under water welder!!
