    Welder, see’s a wanted ad in the paper, welder needed, 25$-55$ an hour.
    Welder comes in for the interview, same scenario as the video.
    The welder is left to perform his welds, supervisor returns to inspect them.
    The welder has completed two welds side by side.
    One weld looks like it was done by a high school kid who just smoked a joint, the other was the finest weld he had ever seen.
    The supervisor asks him, what’s going on and why the quality of the welds are so drastically different.
    Welder: The ad stated that the position paid 25$-55$ an hour
    Supervisor: Yeah…
    Welder: Well, that there weld on the left is a 25$ an hour weld, an the one on the right is a 55$ an hour weld, which one would you like sir?

    I hired a kid right out of welding school. He was very talented! After testing him thoroughly in everything from fit up through welding, I asked him how much he thought was a fair price for his work. He asked for $15 hr....
    I knew of his young wife through my wife, and I knew they had a new baby. ..
    I told him I was wasn't going to pay him $15 hr. And I scolded him for low balling himself. I insisted on starting him at $20 and said that if his attendance and attitude was good, Id raise him to $25....by the time his first paycheck came due, I gave him the raise, it was obvious to me this kid was the best employee I'd ever had the privilege to work with..
    For context, this was back in 2007.

    My dad knew a machinist/welder who was pretty talented. He made custom artwork from time to time. One day he decided to make a sculpture for our local arena. (Job fairs, motorcross, concerts all types of things are held there year round). He named it the portal to earth, it was nothing more than a warped oval shaped piece that was 3 Dimensional, it stood about 15-20 feet tall and 5 feet wide or so. Our city unveiled it talking about how creative it was and how amazing it is, it was in the newspaper and on local news stations. What everyone would ask is, what is it? The machinist would simply reply “it’s a portal to earth” (or a portal to the new world can’t remember). Well people wouldnt really ask what that meant except my dad. And when my dad asked him “what the hell does portal to earth mean?” The machinist chuckled a little bit, he said “you’re the first person to actually ask me that” the machinist began to giggle uncontrollably and through his teary eyes of laughter “ITS A VAGINA, ITS A DAMN PUSSY, AND THEY TOTE IT AROUND LIKE A TROPHY” my dad laughed his ass off and told me several years later.

    My dad was a welder most his adult life , 13 yrs in a shop in Chicago he was explaining a fill weld one day , I asked him if he enjoyed it he said sometimes except when the project goes on for days n days in a row , then he explained how tool die presses had to be rebuilt and they would fill many feet of weld into gaps several feet thick , literally 1000s of hot passes , it never sank in as a kid or young man even how hard that man must've worked all I knew was a humble guy w/arms like Popeye that loved us enough to do all this , Now I see dad r.i.p. pops.😢

    The welds don't look bad to me, but it all depends on what the weld plan was. Having a part beveled that much sometimes is intended to not have a large fillet for clearance issues on the part. However, if this eye in the part is used for lifting, a fillet added to the bevel weld will make a very strong joint. The joint would, of course, need to be inspected for full penatration before it is used for lifting. $25/hour seems like a vert low rate for this type of welding.

      No. That weld is waste time, material, skill... If that was the setup and you cant grind the spot welds out, tolerance or whatever, you would want to brace the weld out in a t pattern and do a properly weld along the continuous edge... That looks like it took forever and will have layers and layers of bead and inclusions that are possible failure points.

      Look, I'm a Marxist and I'm all for the regulation of surplus labor exploitation and probably that company could be paying 40 an hour starting and start making a profit, BUT...
      I'm also a welder and those welding lines are NOT worth ANY salary, let alone one with surplus exploitation addressed.
      I guess this job uses GMAW rather than SMAW, since it appears to be an industrial production setting in a closed facility (GMAW protection gas is susceptible to wind, which is why it's more appropriate in factories and such, rather than open air construction and repairs) and though GMAW welding lines aren't the prettiest, specially when using MAG with active protection gas, rather than MIG with inert protection gas, this ones are still too ugly.
      If I knew the exact size of the piece, and other factors such as the carbon content/chemical composition of both the piece and the GMAW feeding wire, or the heat treatments involved in its production itself, I could even make an accurate guess on how to do it better.

      Lol, made me think of a boss I had in the late 80s that called me in the office. He said he was going to give me .18 an hour raise I shit you not. After a short discussion I said " F@@k it, I quit!" He asked if I was putting in my notice, I said "I'm letting your ass know I won't be here tomorrow!" Life's too short. ✌️

    Strategy works. My grandfathers been welding forever. He went to interview for John Deere and they wanted to see two welds. He did one shitty and one immaculate and they asked what happened to the first one. He told them that’s what less money buys them and the other one is what more money buys them…He’s worked for John Deere for close to 10 years or so now

      The weld looks good but in reality it is weak, it is built up notout and down and for 25 an hr you should not need to train

      Mc Donald pay 17 bucks an hour. This is easily 25 hour work.
      I don't care what is wrong with the weld. The ability and skill is there,with a good supervisor teaching this person would be an asset to have. Iron workers would mold this person into an excellent welder. The apprentice scale starts around 25 hour and benefits on top of that.
      Criticize if you want. It is obvious this person definitely has potential.
