Product Description
by Jennie Jones (Author)
What is it like to work in a man's world? When you're a woman?
Jennie knew the odds would be stacked against her when she decided to retrain as a plumber at the age of 38. But whatever obstacles came her way, she refused to give up.
For the last eight years, Jennie has run her own heating and plumbing company in Weymouth. This came after years of study, and an apprenticeship with a local housing company. In 2015, she became a fully-qualified Gas Safe engineer.
And what an adventure it has been. She's achieved things she never thought possible. She's met people from all walks of life. Every day has been unique. But she's also faced workplace injury, childcare issues, sexism, stress and exhaustion, and more.
Throughout her plumbing career, she kept notes. And these formed the backbone of her insightful book - Pipe Dream, Chasing a Man's Job.
If Jennie can chase her dreams, then others can too.
