    I started welding at the age of 20 in 2000 and it's a lot to deal with. I'm a still a welder to this day cause I love what I love. But the discrimination was crazy. But at the end of the day, they could never talk about my welds being bad.

    Haha. This lady tripping, about half my union boilermaker hall is black, and about 15% women. Their no better or worse than the men. Just cant lift as much. Women just don't want to be burned and covered in grime and metal dust. Lots of men don't either. It's why theirs a so called shortage. It's not a racial or gender thing. It's a specific person that is willing to risk their health and working in hazardous areas for higher pay. It always has been. Most people in general dont do that type of work, especially now a days.

      Women have in fact been proven to be better welders because we pay attention to detail more.
