I guess what I’m asking is, are pipefitters’ salaries rising to the level of welders, and so do you have the opportunity to get yourself to that six-figure level?
Maybe if I was younger but most of those 6 figure jobs are quite the specialty. Such as a welder fitter who can do it all with a helper or two. Basicly, fitters have always been a dollar or two less than welders.
Those 6 figure welders I doubt are making that in a fab shop. Mostly on the road and on call out in the field and I am sure that 6 figures includes perdiem plus travel pay.
