Hand welders are in demand. They work in factories, construction sites, ship yards etc. The difficulty is doing the job correctly and getting the training for it. If bad welds show up or are missed the welder is quickly dismissed.
Weld operators is the least technical of the welders. They place parts in fixtures which clamp other parts together. A mig robot will automatically quickly weld the parts and when done the operator will quickly remove and inspect the part. If the part is good the part will be packed for shipment. If bad welds are found the operator will mark the bad weld and place it on a rack where a hand welder will later reweld the bad spots.
At one time this operator job was the entry level job for welding. However with the decline in the automotive market, there are fewer openings. Plus the demands on the operators have increased including quotas and the quality demands to not miss bad welds.

Advertise in the local news paper, place notes on bulletin boards, word of mouth, set up a shop with a sign out front, a sign on the side of your truck. These are good places to start. It all takes time to build.
Good luck. Look at this.

One of the highest paid of all jobs in this country are those who weld underwater! Temps underwater are always on the coldish side – and you will always be wet from the water and not sweat. You will have to really master both welding and scuba diving to survive, and even if you are the best of the best in the field there is danger involved in this career (it is the reason for the high pay, however).

Check out some machine tool and mechanic shops to see if they have an opening.

It won't be easy. But, if the school where you take the welding classes is legitimate, they will have a program to help you find a job. If they don't have such a program, don't take classes there.

As someone who was active duty for 8 yrs. and 2 reserves, welding itself is not a rate but used in rates such as hull techs, launch and recovery technician and others. Usually an individual is picked to go to the navy welding class for 2-3 weeks based on the commands needs. If you get a four year degree you could get into the officer program. As far as just having college credits may give you a higher pay rate but not necessarily a job as a welder.
