I am currently going to trade school in the hampton roads area in Virginia. I am going to be getting all my basic certs (tig, mig, ect.) as well as going for additional certs such as an pipefitting cert and an unlimited cert. What should I expect as far as how easy it will be to get a decent paying job and how much I will be making(or to ask) for my starting rate. I'm currently aiming to go into the Newport new shipyard but I wanted some more insight before making/committing to a decision.
