I'm a machinist by trade, but I can also weld, and do it well. Being a welder all day, everyday, doesn't appeal to me. It's fairly dirty, it messes with your eyes, and it's miserabel in the summer heat if you're not working in a climate controlled shop.
As a machinist, just don't let those tight dimensions intimidate you. When the tolerances shrink, we go to a more accurate way of doing things. You don't use a drill to hold a .001 tolerance, and you don't use a boring bar to hold .020. For every job there is a way.
Machining is (normally) cleaner, and not as hard on a guy's body. If you become good at it, you can command a pretty healthy wage too, you just need to be patient.
I got into machining in High School, and have been employed in the field now for almost 8 years.
