I spent 10 years welding in plants all over the world. I made some great money at it too. If someone had offered me $22/hr anytime after Katrina, I would have laughed at them!

When I left the welding stuff behind, I was @ $33/hr and getting paid double time after 8 hrs and, double all day Saturday and, Sunday. That was for local plants. When you do that and, are hitting $85-90/day per diem, working 7/12's, money comes easy...It also goes easy! LOL!
