So true. When I was a teen, for my mom I welded a bracket to hold a garage door opener motor, and converted the garage door to be automated. Also welded a water heater stand. I was proud to have built them with my own hands. Learned welding on my own after my dad passed away. Worked in shops later, making things. Later on when working a desk job, disliked lazy people behind desks who accomplished nothing with their own hands.
And we have more international students than ever.
So it may be as many as 3 million fewer American students compared to 2011.
So far, men are the majority.
But except for welding jobs that require brute force to position the parts one is welding, there is no reason a female can't do the job.
welding requires the type of craft skills and dexterity similar to sewing or knitting that women have traditionally done anyway.
It's just metals instead of fabrics.
The same with running CNC machines and 3D printing.
With modern lifting devices you don't need a lot of muscle strength to do a lot of jobs now.
They don’t get it. The young are moving away from Communism and back to a real way of making a living. They are moving to Trump and God.
“Are there more women or men welders?”
Women make up over 50% of the poulation.
Only about 0.1% of the population are welders. Even if all the welders were men there would still be more women than male welders
.
8% of the welders in America are women. Wonder why they never interviewed a man?
How does speed and production vary, employers must have some standard that they measure employee quality by.
