How women can save dying craftsman trades | Sara Dahmen | TEDxRapidCity

I’ve been thinking of not going back to college and going into a carpentry apprenticeship. I got my associates from a community college and took a year off to decide what I wanted to get a bachelors in. I did research on all different kinds of majors and nothing really interested me. I’ve always been creative, active and love watching renovation videos. It is a little nerve racking being a girl and the fact I always thought Id graduate with a bachelors and go the traditional route. But at the same time I feel like if I don’t try this out then I’ll regret it and be miserable trying to learn something I’m not truly interested in.

Hey! I wear those exact same boots to my job everyday at the shipyard! Also bought them off Amazon, and they are cute compared to other steel toes which I like, bur also comfortable, durable, and waterproof :)

[@housecopper]

I wear them all the time too - especially for tinning. BUT I learned to NOT wear them when seasoning cast iron skillets in January. The steel in the boots gets soooo cold in Wisconsin snow that my toes were freezing! hahaha! Those boots are so much dirtier now than when I did that video. :)

[@emmelawrence]

What brand are they?

Caterpillar / CAT :)

[@bertellijustin6376]

Hold on! The auto industry and steel industry as well as millions of manufacturer jobs where lost over 2 generations of american workers destroying millions of families and towns across this nation because of greed and this woman has the nerve to ask why no one wants to do these jobs for a living!?!?! Ladies go on right ahead. Go for it. I hope the toxic gases and back breaking work and lost fingers and arms dont impede your dreams of a better life. Im sure that those greedy business owner wont drop kick your asses to the curb the first chance they get to sell out to a multi national making metal widgets in china.
