If you decide to get into the Ironworkers union , Don’t turn down any company to get your foot in the door. But once your in, seek out a miscellaneous metals company. They do handrails/ stairs and stuff of that nature. That work is finish type work so although it’s still production based , they are typically left alone as long as the finished product comes out right.
Depending on the type of structural welding on a multi story job, it is very production driven and competitive. Of coarse if you are great at it, you will need to ask for days off since they typically are working steady and overtime.
I have wire certs(232& 305) and stick certs but in my part of the trade , we use the light gauge certs (D1.3) .
If I were you and had the means to do so, start your business and reap the rewards of your hard work. Good luck in what ever you choose.
