Why choose welding technology?
Welding technology is a dynamic field with endless possibilities. From construction to aerospace, the skills you learn can open the door to a variety of high-demand industries. In addition, this is an industry that highly values precision and expertise.
Welding technology invention and inheritance:
The United States has an important position in the development of welding technology. For example, the invention of tungsten inert gas welding by American welder Russell Meredith in the early 1940s laid the foundation for modern welding technology.
Career development and treatment:
·High salary:
The salary level of welders is generally good, especially those skilled and experienced welders. According to some data, the hourly wage of ordinary welders is about $20 to $35, and the annual salary can reach about $40,000 to $70,000. Experienced, skilled welders or those with advanced welding certificates can earn $50 or more per hour, and it is common for them to earn more than $100,000 per year.
· Many career advancement opportunities:
Starting from a junior welder, as work experience accumulates and skills improve, you can be promoted to senior welder, welding technician, welding engineer and other positions. Of course, salary and benefits will also increase with the position.
· Complete welfare protection:
Welders will be provided with relatively complete welfare, such as health insurance, retirement plans (such as 401 (k)), paid annual leave, etc. In addition, in some large projects or specific industries, overtime subsidies, housing subsidies, transportation subsidies and other benefits may also be provided.
