This will make ya feel even better then... after your probationary period (usually 30-90 days) you'll get another bump in pay.
Although it is too bad that Walmart doesn't start out the same in every state, they started people at $10bucks an hour down the road... although I believe that was cashiers, clerks, and night stock... don't know what everbody else gets.

Sorry I guess I didn't catch that part.
Welding... Now that's a field that pays well, especially with the training you're getting ;)

Depends on what kind of welding yuo get into really.

Being in the trades Ive seen a lot of welders, people that is.

Production welders around here get about 10-15$ for seasoned well trained workers.

Job Shop welders tend to get $1-2 more hr.

Own your own shop- make a ton of money, but put in a TON of hours...
