When people ask this self-proclaimed “girly girl” what she does for work, she shows them the calluses on her hands.

Melissa Borsellino began her career in a setting where many beautiful young women find success: behind the bar. But after her stint as a pub manager left her feeling overwhelmed by the nightly crowds, the 27-year-old decided to follow in her father’s footsteps and train as a plasterer.

Ive noticed a lot of younger females working construction around my town in the last few years. They seem to actually be good at the work though so far none of them have whistled or cat called me.

This article, this story sounds like something I read about maybe two years ago. It’s still a good story, if so.

If she can do quality work, who cares what she looks like!!

Better beautiful and working in a trade than homely, on a picket line, with a lesbian history degree

These types of jobs need to be filled "equitably" just as the Womanists claim the corporate jobs need to be.

This woman is proof that they CAN do it but don't WANT to.

Good honest money.

I knew a gal who ended up being apprenticed to a old neighbor who was a mechanic. He had arthritis and she had small hands and could get her fingers in where even I couldn’t. Learned a good trade, nothing like a 17 year old country girl who could rebuild a carburetor or put in an engine.

More dignity to this than being some ‘influencer’ or reality TV star.
