If that’s what you to do then go for it!! There’s no reason in the world why a girl can’t be a good mechanic, these days it’s more about being interested, being switched on & willing to learn.
We’ve had 5 girl mechanics, unfortunately 4 never finished their apprenticeships & the one that did left straight away and went to make “pop-rivets” for a living for more money.
Being a mechanic (not just a fitter) can be a hard job, frustrating, stressful & very challenging but also very satisfying.
It’s the sort of job you have to “really want” to do because it’s a lifestyle, not just a job.
