Young women considering manufacturing should reach out to industry professionals for 15-minute informational conversations. Most people are willing to share their stories and help you figure out if the field matches your values and interests.
So, you know, what key tips would you have for young women who are thinking about their future studies that would lead them to manufacturing someday?
I would say that this is the same kind of advice, and it's very short, that I would give anyone that was considering a change in career or what to do with their life when they grow up, is to reach out to people in the industry and ask them their experience and then measure that with what you value and what you're interested in. And nobody's doing this in a vacuum. I highly encourage anyone to reach out to people that you see that are doing jobs that interest you and just see if they'll, they'll talk to you for 15 minutes. And a lot of them say yes. A lot of people like to talk about themselves.
