Indeed it is, you can just sit in an office and run estimates and schedules all day or you can actually be in the field getting dirty it is completely up to you. You can switch between the two every few years if you wish as well. I am currently working my second internship making 25 an hour with a 1000 a month housing allowance (In a high industry area). If you can still change majors I would highly recommend
I’ve applied to 2 chipotles, worked there before, was trained in everything, got interviews in both, some of the best performances I’ve ever had, hired at neither, for no purpose. Crazy ass shit. Anyway my other 28 are out there and after my genetics exam tmmr i will be applying for 10 more
places put out fake hiring adds to always make it look like they are hiring all the time but they never actually are. companies do this all the damn time. its annoying as shit. i hate that its a thing. it gives everyone looking for jobs false information. its false advertising and idk why its allowed. it should be illegal
the office positions are for women, but thats not what trade jobs are meant to be. especially with construction, if you wanna make bank, the money is in actually doing the trade. not sitting at a desk. dont get me wrong, some desk jobs can make a lot, but you make a lot more out in the field doing the grunt work.
I’ve worked with multiple women in different trades growing up and let me tell you most of them were complete badasses and seemed to do better than most men I’ve worked with, more critical on detail. Seems a bit ignorant to say a woman can’t work a trade. There is more to trades then just grunt work, multiple office positions including estimators, project managers, the key is getting specialized which most majors now a days fail to do
Women can absolutely do any job they set out to. That said men have certain advantages when doing “grunt work” (things like height muscle, learning opportunities for male dominated things) that absolutely give a major bias to employers, whether they realize it or not. And that’s not unfair of them to pick the person better suited for a job like heavy lifting w/o machinery either
