I have to disagree with that unless your a pipe fitter. Tool and die work is in high demand, without machine shops no industies do anything.

I'm just going by what I see in Memphis. But I don't really deal with "wire burners". I'm not too familiar with the machinist schooling. Hopefully, they still teach the basics before programming. But there are many qualified shops looking for certified welders in Memphis. THey have a hard time finding someone that can read prints very well.

My cuzin is pushing me to take a job where he works welding, havent done any welding in years but thinking about polishing up for a couple weekends & applying for it, figured it would be a nice something to compliment the schooling, another plus would be since its shift work & has predictable hours, pays good also.
had a chance to speak with an instructor teh other day & he really kept saying industrial maintainence was the way to go but it really dont interest me at this point but wouldnt entirely rule it out.

My dad has been doing it over 30 years and has his own shop. He has done very well for himself. I could never get interested in it.

He's right. I know a guy that would hire a qualified welder right now to work on cranes......Probably a $20/hr job, EASY, if you can run an arc-gouge machine and lay a good bead.
