1) My Ex-husband and I owned a home improvement and landscaping S-Corp in the mid 90’s. We had 3 kids. One loved the construction work, and at 16 became a certified welder after months of night school. Yrs of commercial welding and a bachelor’s later, she is a construction FE.
2) It just so happens she needs to build, to make. Unfortunately, many of her co-wkrs ovr the yrs had issues w her choice. It’s as though welding a seam or assembling a work pack req male genitalia. As a welder, she’d train men w ZERO experience, but were paid 40% > as new hires.
3) She though getting her undergrad and becoming a construction mgr would earn her respect, that finally she would be seen for her merits, not her gender.
She was hired by a maj North American company, and put to wk. She was thrilled. A few weeks in, she was sent to a job site.
