"Dying career" welding makes a comeback...

According to this article, welding has been a "dying career" that's now making a comeback. The idea that welding was dying as a career probably comes from the depletion of manufacturing welding jobs coupled with increased automation. But I'm not sure it was fair to call that decline in the face of construction welding, fabrication, and maintenance welders doing pretty well -- and wages still being good. Welding schools are still pumping out welders who are mostly doing well in the job market.

Dying? No. Comeback? To a degree.

Welders are in demand now, and have been for a while, so we'll see where this heads.
