Any HVAC guys or Welders who live in British Columbia?

I am looking to get into either welding or hvac.
I meant to get into welding as a career a long time ago but I just ended up doing other things, and now I am also considering hvac as a potential choice.

A recent Internet search provided me with a result for some starting wages for first year apprentices for both trades and it looks like hvac makes more money.

Could anyone, BC residents preferably, who works in either trade, tell me what advancement in your job has been like, what the job prospects are like in a city as opposed to a more rural environment.

Any details would be appreciated.

The kind of welding I had in mind was TIG and oxy acetalyn since I already have some experience with these, almost 10 years ago though.

I live in Victoria, British Columbia, on the island. I live on the coast in a very metropolitan area.
I’m pretty sure most of the welding jobs would come from the dock yard where the naval ships are.

Hvac seems like work would be more plentiful in an urban setting.
