How long should I stay with a company?

Hello,

I'm relatively new to Pipe Welding. Been doing it for about a year now. Currently I am in Greenville, SC taking FLUOUR's weekend upgrade your Pipe skills program. My parents, and extended family, are telling/advising me that since FLUOUR is being "so nice" I should stick with them for 4-5 years. However, when I went through welding school my instructor often told me about how he'd travel from jobsite to jobsite doing 4 week to 3 month shutdowns with different companies throughout the year.

My question is: Will it hurt my employment record if I am some road-dog who goes from company to company, YET, still finishes the job he's assigned to?

no, not at all.

STAY AWAY FROM THE TEMP AGENCIES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!! They are temp agencies for a reason. The few times I have worked through staffing companies, I had problems.. Like anything else, if you find an honest staffing company, keep their number.
I have found its better to develop relationships with your co workers and they can help you find good jobs.
