Either by choice or sheer luck. What is something that has happened to you that made your life actively better?

(So far) For me it has been me finally able to move out of my parents home.

    Learned a trade that I love as a career (industrial electrician), fell in love with my boyfriend, bought and renovated a home from 1890 together, plan to get married eventually!

      More female electricians please!

      My daughter is in her 2nd year, of 5, election school - she’s Union and loving being an electrician.

      She just attended the Washington DC female electrician convention.

      It’s completely changed her life.

        Who said anything about me being a woman lol

        I’m a gay guy, although it’s not exactly something I bring up around my coworkers. The exception being the shop I worked in for 7 years because those fellas were like family.

        That’s cool about your daughter though, the trades are a very straight male dominated field

          Shit, sorry, saw you wrote “boyfriend” and thought “female electrician, like my daughter!”. Hey, the trades need more LGBQ+ people too!
