I worked in remodeling before and during college, including plumbing. It requires less physical strength than what you are implying.
The parent comment makes a good point. There are few (if any) calls for diversity in regards to "dirty" jobs.
- jbob2000 10y agoAre you a male? You think it takes less physical strength because what's physically easy for a male would be harder for a female. Ever been asked to open a jar for your wife?
- choko 10y agoYes, I'm male. No, I've never opened a jar for my wife. My wife actually has as much physical strength as I, perhaps more. For what it's worth, there were 3 female crew members with which I worked at the remodeling company. None of them had issues turning a pipe wrench. It's seriously not as strenuous as you seem to think. Have you tried it? Edit: I also feel like you are missing the point, which is that there is relatively little call for diversity outside of "more women in STEM".
