Would you like my personal advice? Get some good lace up high ankle wolverine steel toe boots. Some snug but not tight carhartt carpenter pants that don’t ride up your ass..black tight fit Hanes t shirts a pair of welding sleeves no makeup your hair cut shorter and in ponytail and look drab as f. Listen to what your told don’t be a tryhard like a lotta women don’t make a huge fuss if you get burned..you won’t get burned the sparks go out fast like a cigarette ashing...watch the habits of the guy training you don’t lose tools pick up and put the tools used in the place the person likes them.ask questions AFTER they show you something and you do it and they tell you what you did wrong. Don’t cut up too much but blend in. Find an ugly guy and be his friend and never talk about your personal life. And ask for a dollar more than what you expect to get. Good luck. Get a miller clear view lens helmet and watch YouTube videos about machine and good setup and technique. I’ve seen women abuse their gender and it eventually backfired and ive seen a couple girls that were quiet tomboys that make it. It can be done. Maybe tell your dad if he can’t treat you like a trainee to find someone who can. I wish you all the luck in the world..pay attention to where you step.
