God save us from their all consuming arrogance!
Sarah Adkins "Not to be rude or ungrateful here but Mike, but those jobs are considered "men's jobs". Since I was teenager I've been turned away from those jobs and treated pretty poorly by those looking to hire for such a job. I was more than willing to work my way up. I can MIG weld and arc weld, I've used a ridiculous number of hand tools, and learned mold making and casting. Everywhere you look they only hire men, not women for the jobs you list."
..I've worked with peopl like this...they want the top job on the first day because they went to some school...
If no one will hire you, then hire yourself.
I wonder WHERE she’s job hunting. Out here in the Nevada gold country, jobs would come hunting for her!
I used to deal with the self entitled type when I was a factory foreman. They assumed that just because they had an engineering degree, they would walk through the factory door and straight to the front office and it just wasn’t going to happen.
The best designer in the place got his engineering degree after working 30 years as a shop rat. After all that time he didn’t need the degree to do the job, he needed the degree to get the pay.

I work in industry. If she is telling the truth about her qualifications, she wouldn’t even have to apply for a job.
Of course, the fact that she’s “used a ridiculous number of hand tools” makes me think that she’s a liar. A real tool-user never considers any number of tools used as “ridiculous”.
Miss Adkins is very wrong. Some of the best weldors I know were women but most women didn’t care for the dirt and grit of many welding jobs.
What matters in most places is passing that welding test and that’s a straight up pass or fail, no in be tweens.
To this women I would say..im a network engineer..I make 6 figures..I went to a trade school not college. I lost an arm at 15 and never got any of those hi pay manual labor “men only” jobs you refer to...
