GOOD ALL.

PLEASE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN HERE ON nairaland, I am in a state of confusion, needs an advise on weather to learn Welding or to learn truck driving. Secondly, which of them will help me immigrate quickly. Thanks and happy new year to you all.

I know a Nigerian guy that migrated to Finland as a Welder in November 2023.

But I hear in USA, Truck drivers are making bank.

EEIA:
Welding Abeg.




Package yourself as a company. Not that roadside welding low standard.


Get tools, I mean get standard tools. Even if it’s gradually over time. See where you will be in 5 to 7 years.

You might even have enough funds to buy medium scale automated tools such as laser cutters that use Computer Aided designs.

With a workforce of people you will be managing to do the manual work for you while you train them.



Thank me later.

Thanks

There is a shortage of truck drivers in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and EU.
The UK alone is short by 60k
The USA is short by 80k
Canada is short by 20k
So you see your opportunity.

The question is (1)how many people are really roofing houses out there now (2):what about his location ,it's possible there won't be building constructions in that territory (3)for how long would he be able to build a good resume round that job before the average person's would start trusting him to be able to handle a job ? . (4)are NIGERIANS out there really into building ?,I mean houses like we build all over here ?.I noticed people hardly build over there ,u most times buy partly because of the rules and regulations that binds building job in Europe,so most end up buying already made homes or estates .Over 90percent do not build houses ,they buy
and that has been my observation (pls correct me if I am wrong )

sukkot:
Why not try roofing if you are going to uk. To roof house na 10k pounds ooo. If you roof 50 in a year you done collect half a million pounds. You done become billionaire in Naira be dat na

Stevosty:
Truck driving is easy and less hazardous than welding.

Do you understand what they call stress

Welding.

michlins:
What you see there and more are my works.

Next time, before you tell a stranger to "get a sense ", think well first because the stranger might know more about the subject matter than you can ever dream of

you still need sense.

Weldering is a very technical and professional job

Welding is not just a skill, it's an art.
For you to be a good welder,
you must appreciate metallurgy, pay attention to detail as you will be working with molten metals, the better you understand how to manipulate the molten metal pool the better you get. You have to master These welding processes: TIG (Argon); MIG(especially Flux core, Aluminium) SMAW(STICK WELDING) then you decide your specialty. Structural or pipe. Get relevant certifications and experience and Be Dillgent God will see you through.

Haaa

In some US states, you must have a regular license for six months before applying for a CDL (commercial driver's license). Welding you can start from the day you get your work permit. The good-paying ones involve a lot of traveling to construction sites....good luck.
