Career in welding

Hi all. I'm looking for a career in the welding industry. I have done a stick welding course last month. Besides this, I am looking for some other best welding courses to strengthen my career. Some of my friends suggested MIG welding. When I searched on the web I came across something called welder red seal course on some of the websites. I don’t know further details about this course or exam. Have you ever done any courses regarding this? I am also looking for some apprenticeship opportunities, so I guess I have to be a certified welder for that. I don't have any experiences yet. But I was able to do all the practical work during my course period. The faculty used to appreciate me for my works. But as a beginner, I don' think it's enough. I think I need to gain experience in this field to build a strong career. What all steps can be done to enhance my career in welding. Please do share your opinion.

Depends on where you are located.

The Welder Red Seal program is a Canadian system.

I worked in the aerospace world where we did a fair amount of welding. Although that was not my field, those that were welders were considered artisans of their trade. It was good work and they were well paid. So, yes welding can be great field.
