Hi lanse, nice to see you back...
It all depends on what you want to do 10 years from now. IF you'd like to someday work for yourself, work for a company for 5 years and master various forms of welding, then go out on your own. Portable welding operations are always in demand. Not too many portable machinists (although they do exist). If you go to the jobsite, you can have your own company, and with a fairly small shop, you can do the welding for other people in house.
If you go the machinist route, you'll most likely always be working for someone else unless you borrow LOTS of money to buy some equipment, then you have to keep those machines busy.
A downside to welding is that you have to make sure you keep as much of that welding smoke out of your lungs as possible. Same goes for machining with the coolant, cast iron dust, etc. Both are good jobs. Welding is something you can use at home (especially on tractors).
