Welding keeps the world together. That’s why being a welder is a recession-proof career. You could be in demand everywhere. This is especially true in the state of Texas. We have more welders here than anywhere else. This career is the backbone of manufacturing, including the booming industries in our state: petrochemical, manufacturing, fabrication, aerospace and aviation.
