By graveyhog  Date 11-15-2007 22:36 I came across this job on ndt.org web site and could not believe the wages these company's are asking for a CWI position.I have seen this time and time again.I wish AWS would send out a outline description of the requirements to take the cwi and the years required and the extent of the material of the testing for the cwi.I mean like were I work these people dont have a clue what it takes to take the test and the knowledge of the overall welding material.I had one manager to tell me that he was going to take it,because it would help him in sales.We are a large supplier of fabricated parts can't go in detail.But he thinks he's just going to walt right into the welding arena and get that CWI with out a blink of an eye.The industry in manufactory don't have a clue.To my opinion.The job on this web site is low I know helper's making that kind money in the nuclear industry.http://www.ndt.org/jobs.asp?ObjectID=18630.Please help the old,new,and future cwi on this matter to publish a article on the what is involved to make this happen to become a Certified Welding Inspector/Certified Welding Educator. This article would have to be published where theses industry's would be able to read it NATION WIDE.Not just the AWS News.Please Support.   My current job role is Welding Engineer.
