What do you mean specializing in welding burning cutting ?
If you can get any mechanical trade under your belt its gonna give you a 1 up on the pony boys that have come out of the big city and never really held a hammer in their hands.
If you mke it a trade do it for a bit and then get into diving or else do it on the side while diving at least you wont be down there saying "Topside what the f*** is a pipe wrench??? Is it the one with the lil spinny thing to adjust it ??"
Any skillz will help pay the billz..... god that was so gay :(

DOnt hold your breath, but dont be discouraged... Get your education. YOu will get work, but do not expect to go there the day you walk out it will take time and alot of foot work. Keep the faith Lil Bro, and learn.....

your going to hear this alot so i'll be the frist to tell ya. work is very very slow at the moment,loads of diver out of work. dont rush into anything yet.

Specializing is good, I mean it never hurts, but you gotta also be comfortable being a jack of all trades.
If you just wanna go out there and do welding and cutting work then your gonna go very very hungry.
Also be able to trouble shoot and think on your feet really helps as well because things are always breaking down or going wonky.
As Sean said, its not exatcly boom time under water, and your young so I would reccomend get a trade under your belt over the next couple years and keep feeling out the job market then when its picked up go diving.

I've really been hearing that the diving industry as slow down quite drastically at the moment.but i have time..........i just do a lot of land trades over the next few years as Will said and wait until things pick back up again.......thanks for the info guys.......
