    Most welders do end up starting as apprentices in order to gain experience and build connections within the industry. That said, doing so isn’t always a requirement.

    Some states mandate that welders need to complete a certain number of hours as a registered apprentice before they are allowed to work within that state. And they enforce this mandate by only issuing licenses to welders who have met this and other requirements.

    The catch is that, when it comes to welders, only a handful of states and regions require that welders have a license. And even the states that have this requirement don’t all mandate that welders need to start out as apprentices. If you are looking to become a welder, there is a very high chance you won’t be legally required to start out as an apprentice, even if it is a very good idea to do so.

    In case you’re curious, this is how much it costs to become a welder: https://weldingnearyou.com/school-co....

Blue vs White Off to a job fair, self-evaluating whether you're capable of doing any jobs in the queue. Get a good education then land on a better job. A tough competition is ahead of you whether you work online or in an office.
Blue and white collar jobs are in. Fairly well for the skilled and the think tanks. You're maybe one of the enthusiast waiting for your turn to succeed in your passion. You may need to be skilled or to have Master's degree to be more qualified. But, sometimes it doesn't work that way. Sometimes, you don't need to find a job; create it.
