How much do welders typically make?
Asked by wsayler_az
Per hour

Best Answer:
The highest paid welder is a pipeline welder if certifided start is $100, bonus if you complete below deadline. This is a job for single males or females, you go from job to job, you will not have a life, just the job. When your young and the money is flowing, you spend it as fast as it comes in. Buying drinks, trucks, and coming home with a sore pecker or puss. Right now they are trying to recrute us old fart's, I know better.
Hey do you know how to circumsize a welder? Kick his pipe fitter in the chin. It' old

That is one of the best jobs to get into. This trade pays awesome in PA. My buddy from the Coast Guard makes 75k per year welding for a Nuke plant. If this is your thing then pursue it. If you are not into yet but you pick up quickly and are willing to get all the certificates and licensing, then do it.

Anywhere from $29,000/yr. (welder level 1), to 46,000/yr. (welder level 3 commercial). So that's about $17-$26/hr. on average.
