Welding is not without discomfort. Welders may experience some dangers and discomfort on the job including burns, eye discomfort, exposure to hazardous materials and a lot of physical effort. You may find yourself in tight spaces, working in hot weather or welding in wet and cold environments.
You may experience long hours and travelling. Welding is a lucrative career, but it does require a lot of time, especially when you are working on a specific job and your team is on a deadline. This may mean long days and overtime hours, but some welders find this to be a benefit as it means extra pay. Certain industries (eg. pipelines) may require frequent travel from their welders.
Depending on the industry, you may be subject to the weather.
