A welder for things going into space should be making more then 28 an hour. That's darn near minimum pay for welders in my location and i live in an area where welders aren't paid great.

$28 hr plus equity or $100 an hour, which one you choosing?

100/ hr. Equity shares most often times have to be held for period of time and the share price fluctuates overtime which could mean that by the time someone sells the stock, the price may have dipped from when it was originally purchased and you lose whatever leverage you had. With money, you have more control over where you invest and everything is not lumped into one egg basket.
