re: #128 Vicious Babushka

Actually the most a pipe welder can hope to make is $45/hr. I don’t know where that wingnut pulled the $125, probably out of her rear end.

It’s easy.

Find an RW article that takes the highest paid union welder, add in all benefits, pensions (don’t forget employee contributions) and free chocolate bars. Then ignore all the add-ins and add them again and you get what dufus said.
