That's what I keep saying!!!But then who would do all the cooking , washing & ironing Louise!!!
i think its just not suited to most women and they cant hack the environment.
I'm often told there should be more female electricians, mainly by young females who don't actually want to do the job themselves.
There may be a lot of customers who don't want men in the house, but the business model for electricians who do this kind of work is generally small businesses of one, maybe two vans - for a company of say 3 people to have a third of the workforce take a year's paid sabbatical and then probably not return to work afterwards anyway, it would most likely send the company under and lose 2 other people their jobs.
The next step would be why there aren't more female proprietors of electrical companies - well if the woman in a one woman band electrical company got pregnant it would instantly cease to become financially viable and she'd have to wind it up, losing all her hard work; for this reason it isn't worth the risk in the first place, which is probably why it isn't something women do.
There are some jobs which women just aren't suited to, just as there are jobs which men aren't suited to. Men and women are different - that's not "sexist", it's a fact of life.
I have a girls name if that helps!?
All the jobs he has been to the customer has said she spent a couple of hours scratching her head and eroding the customer's confidence then passed the job on. They have all been fault finding jobs that my mate got sorted, or at least diagnosed within 30 minutes.
