Hot Career: Welding Sparks Interest in Teens
01/27/2010 |
Like working with your hands? Don’t mind a little heat? Then listen up, because Wesley Viriamontes has just the job for you.
“Welding is a lot of fun,” says Wesley, a recent graduate of Gadsden High School in Anthony, N.M. “I liked it the first time I tried it, and I like it just as much now. It takes a lot of patience and concentration, and it can be challenging. But if you like putting things together – building things and fixing things – it’s great.”
When it comes to hot careers, welding is right up there with the best of them. According to industry insiders, the United States is facing a serious welder shortage. While more than 500,000
welders are currently employed in this country, their average age is in the mid-50s, and many are planning for retirement. Meanwhile, as the country’s infrastructure continues to grow, as bridges and skyscrapers and factories inevitably age and require repair, demand for new welders is growing faster than ever.
