Currently I am living/working in the country of Norway. It's very beautiful
here with the high mountains and deep fjords.
Yes, there are some great paying welding jobs. (There's a lot they don't
tell you

) Underwater welding pays great but, that is only while your
suited up and under water. The other 80% of the time when your just
on the platform the pay is less...a lot less.
If you all want me to check I can see how much nurses get paid here in
Norway. The minimum wage right now is $18 an hour. Thats what the
kids in McDonalds are making
