I never worked at one, but I do auto financing and I get to see a lot of incomes. I have usually seen in the low $20 range. this is for just workers, not manager or owner or anything like that. Most recently I remember one guy making about $25 an hour with 4 years experience. I believe it's like a mechanic, if you do it faster than they say, you get paid for the full time. If you do it slower, sorry.

There are quite a few health hazzards, but you can protect yourself from them somewhat. Wear earplugs, safety glasses, gloves, respirators, etc.. When needed. I even wear my respirator when welding, after I saw something on TV about how bad welding fumes are for you.
I'm down right amazed at what I can destroy with just a hammer!

You're right! There is all kinds of nasty stuff that can show up when you are welding, especially if you hit zinc or galvanize. I have seen ads recently for supplied air welding hoods!

Also, with welding you need to use a respirator with a carbon filter of some sort. Welding fumes are a gas (as opposed to particles, like bondo dust), and carbon filters are the only thing that'll absorb gases. Sometimes they call them charcoal filters, too, I think.
