A FEMALE electrician wants more women in trade professions.

She thinks that college is great for some but trades are "importanter."


Lexi Abreu @lexi_abreu gave followers a sneak peek into a day of the life of a female electrician.

College is certainly not for everyone: for her, she found her fit at the trade job.

"College is important but trades are importanter," she said with hashtags #bluecollarbabe, sharing videos of her hard at work.

In another video, the electrician sat in her car as she shared reasons why she loves electrical work.

"Some days, I'm fighting for my life in a ditch or fighting some heavy wire," she said.

"VS other days, I'm fighting for my life in someone's house not letting my anger get the best of me," she joked.

"It's always a surprise."

Women took to the comments to share their thoughts: "I love blue collar women, why did I become an accountant," said one commenter.
