Steedie, apart from having a stomach for some of the jobs, Are you physically strong enough to do the heavy work? I wish you well, whatever....... ps. plumbing not only clearing drains and changing tap washers..... X X Bob

Steedie, you have absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about!!!! dont let anyone squash your dreams, if that is what you want to do then go for it!!!!! I for one will hire you when you are qualified!!

thats why i think they dont believe i will do it cos im just so squemish, but the way i see it is, men are squemish too and somehow they just get over it, theres good and bad points to all jobs. Thanks for your support, i was just so embarresed last night when i told them, i couldve died! xxxx

My husband is a plumber and has his own company.I have seen him come home and strip off in the garden where he has been up to his waist in poo.If you dont mind them sort of jobs then go for it.We can do the same as men.its been proved all the time. Annie

Steedie, this is a brilliant idea, as long as you dont mind shifting a backlog of poo and stuff occasionally :-)) I have said this to my neice who is 18, forget college I told her, become a plumber and makes sure you are good, polite, clean and tidy up after yourself and it will be a licence to print money, there is defintately a shortage of good honest clean plumbers of either sex and being a female will make you appeal to the females of this world, good luck and well done on a brill idea, of course you can do it, If a man can then I am sure that a woman can do it equally if not better than a male You go girl!!!!

Become a plumber and b******s to what your friends think, they just don't have the scope of imagination and maturity to imagine anything from the norm! Be a plumber!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanted to be an architect but was told girls can't be architects and I have always regretted not following my dream! Julie xxx

For years now i have wanted to be a plumber. I have always wanted to do this, and my ambition is to build my own business and maybe make it a 'females only' plumbing company, where we work for , -Elderly people -single mums -ladies living on there own -housewifes This is because of all the trouble these kind of people get with Cowboys and theifs, you know the people who turn up and say there plumbers where really all there gonna do is mug you!? Ive been told there is a real shortage of female plumbers, and im stuck in such a rut at the moment i really want to give it a shot. Clare is at the moment building a pack of infomation up for me with info on how to get funding to be a plumber, courses, colleges, night school. When i went home last night i told all my friends and you knwo what they did, sat there laughed and all said i wouldnt make it. If thats what my closest friends think do i really have a chance of making it or do you think i should quit while im ahead and just stick with a job that just isnt for me??? xxx
