Audel Pipefitters and Welders Pocket Manual 2nd edition by Charles N. McConnell. The purpose of this book is twofold: (1) to acquaint high school students with the advantages of a career as a worker in the piping trades, and (2) to serve as a reference for workers in the pipe-fitting trades who encounter problems in the job. Fortunate indeed is a high-school graduate who has selected a career to pursue in life. By the second year of high school, if they have had good guidance from their parents and/or school counselors, many students who plan to continue their formal education are deciding which college or university to apply to and what kind of courses to enroll in. The piping trades are among the highest-paid construction occupations.
