dirtyrider Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 I`m a coded pipe welder by trade and also worked at J.C.B Excavators in England building diggers. I`m 34 and wanted to get out of engineerig but just wondered if there is any work available in this field and if so what sort of money could i get. Regards Dirty. P.s sorry think i put thread in wrong place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PvtDick Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 People working in this field in Thailand make around $300 or $400 a month, tops. They have no need for foreigners with this qualification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megashox Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 On the other hand you could easily become an English teacher at one of the fine institutions here and draw around 2-3 times that amount. All the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
