WW2 the famous bomber called the Lancaster was built mainly by women.

A friend of mine recently passed at 91. Back in the early 50's she led an all female crew, welding up bomb bay doors on some kind of aircraft.

Forgive  me if this sounds like a "what do you want to be when you grow up "  question, but i wanted to be a farmer, that was until i went an open day at an agricultural  college in my younger days , not far from where i live, a few farmers gave a demonstration on how lambs tails are removed,      it made me  feel ill 😢.  Oh well,  bang goes that idea. But in hindsight,  I'm glad I didn't continue that idea as it's an incredibly  tough  and frustrating  job and often with little and sometimes  no return.  Many assorted jobs later,  out  of the blue, I tried my hand at leather work, and enjoyed it, now  20 years later , I  still do 😀

@Tove09Tilda I really hope everything goes really for you 🙏   

A former flame of mine  is a scientist,  her office was adorned  with degrees of all kinds in science ,  she spent many years at uni,  she did do some science based jobs  in labs etc, but they didn't last long, some  of the jobs she ended up doing were food tasting demos in supermarkets , , when we first met, she worked at fast food takeaway joint, go figure ?

I used to drive new cars, we had two at the time. The dealership I choose gave good deals. The cars had to be serviced at the usual regular intervals. The chief mechanic was a young lady. She did a first class, and quick, job on my cars. Her diplomas lined the service reception walls. After the first time of her servicing my car thereafter I always asked for her to do my car. Many times I was in the servicing reception booking my car in and I heard others say very strongly they didn't want her touching their car

One time as I was going in to book the dealer stopped me for a chat 'you can't have Kathy to do your car'  

'Oh, why, has she left?'

'No, she's gone over to England, the importer is doing mechanics classes for the new range coming in next month'

'Why did you hire her anyway?' He knew I liked her and meant no harm with this

'She's a first class mechanic, top of her class, and we always hire the best'

After the dealership closed down I lost track of her
