Third year painting apprentice, really would love to see a college like yours in our area. The support for women really isn't that great here!

How awesome to.have women doing construction

[@kayfron9264]

Very inspiring! Thank you for this.

I almost guarantee if a 19 year old male and female appreciate both show up on the job site to break-in at the same time. Who's going to be given a harder time? Were all rooting for the girl.

We have many women working in my trade (electrician) and just like men some are good and some are bad. I think that as more women enter the trade however mens life expectancy will decrease because we end up doing the more physical work for longer periods of time. (ie 5 in rigid conduit runs vs labeling things with a p touch label maker) Not that women can't do 5 in rigid but everytime I'm doing it there's no women around helping me.

Hi Rickey, I am a woman in HVAC. We are out there! And being in any trade should be praised, why do you need to mock!?
