Should my husband risk it and take a poorly paid job so he can get experience welding?
such a job is often a good idea, and though the pay starts low it can get amazingly high (for example many insulators and pipeliners made $30-$100 and hour during brief periods in the 1970s) howeevr if your immediate condition is not sufficient (aka if another family member cant support family without his current pay) then he should probably hold off getting that training until he is in a better position to do so. reenlisting in the army as a metal worker is a good idea, that will give him experience as you say, and probably pay pretty decent (and we all know the military has AWESOME benifits.
