It depends on where you decide to live, but in general welders can make good money.
In Michigan, my aunt was making around $40,000 a year as a small factory welder. My brothers friend in California makes much more than that.
I can tell you this, my cousin was in the Navy and learned a skilled trade as well... it's a great decision for you to make. He has an excellent job now and even though he wants to stay where he is, job recruiters try to offer him new positions all the time.
Good luck to you~
