Today's guest is another awesome ambassador for KickAss Careers.
Her name is Kate Parr and she’s an industrial mechanic
millwright in Ontario Canada. Coming from a family of university
graduates, she never pictured herself in the trades. She always got
good grades and was an excellent student. So naturally she was
always told she was “too smart” for trade work.
She knew herself better than that though. Always learning best
doing hands on work, she dedicated herself to learning trade
work.
Her intelligence certainly comes to light in this episode when we
discuss everything from the perception of the trades, to what can
be done to change it, to how it can be used to live your definition
of success. As for her definition of success: a career that allows
her to be independent, happy, and challenged.
