Grass cutting is not bad . Even a cheap mower will cut grass and you don’t need a brand new 4x4 diesel truck to haul mowers . Underbid everyone else with the goal of getting as many yards in close proximity as possible. You will be able to make it rain at Hustler’s.

I love welding and fabrication almost as much as I love machine work. Have made my living at both. In both cases I found a reason to bow out.
Machine shop stuff didn’t pay worth a darn in my case, plus working with “all you have to do is” customers that wanted it yesterday but dropped it off today and I worked for an guy that I couldn’t continue to get along with.

Welding is great money, in some cases. Rig welding in a booming oil patch, firing line putting in a pipeline, %100 X-ray power piping in a nuke plant, all pay big bucks but also require you to keep and maintain a $50-80k rig plus keep insurance and certs current. Then you have to go where the work is, and if you’re a rig welder the work may be hundreds of miles away at 2am on a broke down drilling rig.

Welding in a fab shop or trailer mfg place is just as bad or worse on your body with the added benefit of not paying diddly. Iron workers make better money though not in the rig welder realm, but work is often on the road.

I ended up going to work for a power company. I’m currently working as more or less a gopher for the mechanics in the plant, welder helper, fire watch, maintaining equipment, any oddball jobs that don’t really fall under any of the better positions. But I’m getting my ducks in a row and going to retest to get my welding certs current to get a better spot when a couple guys retire in the next year or two. My theory was to find something that no matter the economy people had to have. Folks are going to have electricity, gas, water, roads, etc no matter what. If you were down here you could get on with the county maintenance crew mowing ditches and work your way up if you stuck with it. Or get on reading meters or doing shut offs for the gas company. All secure stuff that isn’t going away and has benefits, retirement, and roof to advance, plus being home every night.

Your childhood was miserable. Just admit it, meanie.
