I've been welding, machining, and fabricating for 45 years and never worked a day in my life. Just woke up and had fun all day and they paid me to do it. There is so much I don't know; but I do know it's been a good life! Thanks for what do for these young folks just starting to have fun........Merry Christmas fellas!

Boilermakers are a tough breed. Heavy hitters with some slug baggage. I miss it at times. Buddy welding, rigging, demo! Such good times. I dont miss trying to crawl my way up and down a tray tower.

your right about packing your baggage but if you work alot the pension is great i really do miss it i retired awhile ago loved to travel

I just earned my place in a local apprenticeship because I did so well on work permit and I can weld. Spent the majority of my first assignment working in a diesel stripper. I LOVED IT.

This is pretty similar to the Votech I went to, we partnered with Ironworkers Local 584. I’ve been in for 7 months and it’s the most badass job ever, there’s no rush like it and I make pretty good money. You definitely gotta be able to travel, 3 months after graduating high school i moved out and had my own place, bought a 2014 Mustang GT with 8k miles, got engaged and having a baby. Long story short It’s definitely a good trade

I used to weld tubes out of Local 263 Memphis in the 70s-early 80s. Trained by TVA [Tennessee Valley Authority] My instructors were former moonshiners so we initially had to learn how a moonshine still worked .Basically those guys had gone from moonshining to working for TVA and were in their 60s when they taught us the trade.Many were in the KKK.I had a lot of fun down south as a young man down there traveling and welding.Wages were good .We were making more than doctors and lawyers at the time.17.85/hr when most the blue collar workers were making 10-12 hr.A 1 gallon milk jug of moonshine was 20 dollars.I remember getting on the elevators with an "A" cloth many a time .Stood for asbestos cloth.To keep the fire from going down thru the grating. Times have changed.
