Apples and oranges:
It all depends on your personal interest and aptitude. You could combine both skills and become a pipe fitter/welder. You would than work on industrial or pipeline projects for larger paydays.
Good Luck!

Depends on you and where the plumber or welder is working. Either one working in a factory has different conditions that one working under a cold wet house with water streaming past (plumber) or standing with the sun glaring down on a hot metal tank while working to weld a crack among the chemical fumes.
A plumber rarely works where it is always hot (although doing boiler repairs can get really warm) while a welder rarely works where it is especially cool - although welding outdoors in winter can certainly seem so.
I would say the all around welder (all techniques) is trickier than an all techniques plumber.

Plumbing and welding are both technical jobs. You have to learn the tasks, takes time to gain an experience, then when you're ripe in doing it, you may say both are easy in becoming a plumber or a welder. For me, both are difficult because I'm not a plumber or a welder.

Plumber is easier in that you need less equipment in order to run your business.
Most welders find they are always buying more equipment because there is such a range of materials that need to be welded together and each one requires specialised gear.
No one likes to turn down a job so they need everything.
Whereas a plumber can get by with a van full of a few tools and he is set for all jobs.

i admire my inverter DC stick/TIG welder. MIG's are incredible for mild guage stuff and alloy, yet not so relaxing in a sturdy breeze. I doubt lots of the manufacturers we've in oz..are an identical, CIG, Eutectic, Lincoln and a few others are basic right here - Miller is right here yet in a constrained sense basically.

I would have to say plumber is easier.Either one can pay good if your good at what you do and there is lots of work.It would also depend on what type of welding your thinking about.There are lots of different types of welding,Aluminum,stainless steel,not to mention all the other metals.Then there are the different types,such as heliarc,tig,mig,etc.While most plumming is faily straigt forward.

Both of these jobs can become very demanding mentally and physically. Eventually both these jobs require an understanding fluid mechanics and chemistry. MIG TIG flow requirements crazy stuff.

Welding is inherently more dangerous both take a bit of knowledge, I picked up welding fairly quickly. You can make good money doing both but you can make more money welding if the job is more dangerous.

I say a plumber, but I don't really know. That is my opinion. -s
