I went to a job fair yesterday at a local community college. They were talking about apprenticeships for women in a male dominated field. For instance, electrician, sheet metal worker, pipe fitter, machinist are all fields in which most of the workers are men. There's a demand for women in these fields and I was interested in machinist.
Coming home, I told mom how it went and what I was interested in. Its a paid apprenticeship, which is nice, because they pay for the classes. I need to do a little research first, but it looks like I may apply for classes.
What does my mother ask however? "Well, why didn't you look into this when I told you to years ago?" My response was that I was unsure of what to take and didn't want to waste my parents' money. "About time you listened. You're almost 30." Thanks mom... really. (insert eye roll here)
