[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if a woman was inclined to do so, the best trade jobs are often controlled by guilds and unions, and it is a lot easier to "get in" as a man.[/quote]

I agree with this. You can make a living wage by getting into a trade, which are dominated/controlled by men. I can think of no female equivalent jobs that provide the same salary and benefits that don’t require a degree. [/quote]

Men don’t control the trades anymore.  Women are free to become welders, electricians, sheet metal workers, plasterers, bricklayers, and the like.[/quote]

Do a tiny bit of research before posting. Just a tiny bit.

[b]“Women in construction make up 1.2 percent of all skilled workers. [/b]To break it down even further, here’s how women are represented in five popular skilled trades: welders, 4.8 percent; electricians, 2.4 percent; carpenters, 1.7 percent; plumbers, 1.6 percent; HVAC technicians, 1.2 percent.”

Considering women in these trades is a pretty new development, it is safe to assume top management is still dominated/controlled by men. [/quote]

Oh let's get real here. How many women really [i]want[/i] to become construction workers? [/quote]

Very few. Which is why more women go to college than men. And we've come full circle.[/quote]
