I started my life working in a heavy industrial fab shop.  Started out sweeping floors while still in high school.  All I wanted to do was to learn to weld.  I focused my attention on welding in my school vocational program and learned all I could.  I begged until they finally let me start welding.  Over the next several years I focused myself at mastering the art of hard wire mig, flux core mig, and arc welding in all positions.  Eventually I started to get a little bored and decided I wanted to become a fitter.  Begged and begged to get any opportunity to learn to fit.  Slowly they began to give me more and more until I was fitting almost exclusively.  Then I decided after seeing how things went together in the shop that I wanted to see how they went together in the field.  So I progressed to working in field construction erecting heavy industrial.  Now understand that through most of this process I couldn't be happier doing what I was doing.  
Then I decided that I wanted to learn how to design all of these huge industrial structures that I was putting together.  So thats when I decided to go to school to learn structural engineering.  I went back to my roots in that fab shop were they allowed me to work part time while going to school full time.  Half way through I worked my way into a detailing and drafting job part time.  I finished my undergrad and stepped into the world of structural engineering fully.  One year later I went back to school at nights to get my masters in civil engineering (focused in structural engineering).  Finished that in two years and went on to get my PE as soon as I could.

To answer your questions now that you have my background;
- What type of work did you do?
I worked in heavy industrial (bulk material handling).  I now work as a structural engineer in the same field.
- Did you need to get your PE license?
Yes
- Were you still able to work as a welder?
Yes.  (And I always have this to fall back on...it's like riding a bike!)
- Did you enjoy the work?
Still love it and at times I still do a little of it believe it or not.  You would be amazed at the respect you earn when you make a mistake (and you will as an engineer) and you go out to the field and help get it fixed.  I still enjoy the looks I get when I show up at a jobsite and roll out of the truck with my welding hood in hand ready to lend a hand!  If I make a mistake I want to be the one who has to fix it.
- Is there a market for engineers in this economy?Their is always a market for engineers.  Sometimes more than others.  I think it is a great profession although I will get blasted for saying so.
Is it tough times?  
Yes, but recessions come and go.  In my opinion you will have more of a chance losing your job as a welder than an engineer.  Also with your practical experience you will find yourself very marketable.
- Anything that you would like to say would be of benefit. Just do what makes you happy in the end.  A great mentor of mine once told me that you are going to work your butt off no matter what you do, so you might as well enjoy it while your doing it.Also don't be afraid to work a trade.  Having a degree is great but remember that getting a degree like engineering or the sorts is really no different than an apprenticeship for a electrician or a welder, etc.  We are all getting trained to do a job and we all put or pants on the same way.One last thing then I'll shut up.  
DON'T LET MONEY DRIVE YOU!  Work at what makes you happy and the money will come, or at least you will learn that money is a means to life and not life itself.Good Luck!

我开始我的生活在一个重工业工厂车间工作。同时还开始了在高中扫地。所有我想做的事就是要学好焊接。我专注在我的学校职业计划焊接了我的注意和学会了所有我可以。我恳求，直到他们终于让我开始焊接。在未来几年里，我集中在掌握米格的硬线，助焊剂核心米格，并在所有位置弧焊艺术自己。最终，我开始有点厌烦，并决定我想成为一名钳工。恳求，乞求得到任何机会去学习适应。慢慢地，他们开始给我多，直到我几乎完全拟合。于是我决定在看到事情去了商店，我想看看他们是如何走到一起在田间。所以，我逐渐进入现场施工工作架设在重工业。现在明白了，通过这个过程中最快乐我不能做我在做什么。
然后我决定我要学习如何设计这些巨大的，我是工业结构的所有放在一起。所以，这就是当我决定去学校学习结构工程。我回去，因为我的根工厂店是他们让我工作的一部分时间，而上学的时间。过了一半，我曾到一个细节和起草工作的一部分时间我的路。我完成了我的本科和进入世界结构工程全面加强。一年以后，我又在晚上回到学校得到我的主人在土木工程（结构工程中的重点）。在完成两年，接着让我的体育，只要我可以。

要回答您的问题，现在你有我的背景;
- 什么类型的工作做了什么？
我曾在重工业（散装物料处理）。我现在的工作是在同一领域的结构工程师。
- 你需要把自己的体育执照吗？
是的
- 被你仍然能够工作作为焊机？
是的。 （我一直有这个依傍...这就像骑自行车的！）
- 你喜欢的工作？
仍然喜欢它，有时我还是有点不相信它。你会惊讶于你挣的尊重时，你犯了一个错误（你将作为一个工程师）和你出去到外地，并帮助把它修复。我还是喜欢看我时，我得到了在现场展示和推出了与我的手准备伸出援助之手焊罩车了！如果我犯了一个错误我想成为一个谁也解决它。
- 有没有在这个经济市场的一个工程师工程师始终是一个市场？。有时候甚至超过别人。我认为这是一个伟大的职业，但我会这么说抨击。
是艰难的时刻？
是的，但经济衰退来来去去。在我看来，你将拥有一个比失去你作为一名工程师焊工工作的机会更多。还与你的实际经验，你会发现自己十分抢手。
- 什么，你想说会很有好处。只要做到什么让你快乐的结束。我的一个伟大的导师曾经告诉我，你去工作，无论你过你做什么，所以你不如享受它，而你做it.Also不要怕工作了贸易对接。拥有一个学位是伟大的，但请记住，这样的工程或获得各种学位的实在是没有比的电工或焊工学徒不同，等我们都得到培训，以做好工作，我们都提出或在相同的裤子way.One最后一件事情，然后我就闭嘴。
不要让金钱驱使你！什么使你幸福，金钱会来的，或者至少你会知道钱工作是对生活的手段而不是生活itself.Good好运！

国外的工程师对中国国情没借鉴意义, 这辈子别想着这个神奇的民族会意识到科学技术是第一生产力.
