I've observed through life that a lot of ladies are dominating job roles meant for men and this is commendable. As a woman doing such, you get to find out that people encourage you to continue and never give up, while some who are kind hearted even bless you financially as a form of encouragement. When you hammer, people would be like, eh, she don go sleep with one Alhaji like that, na why she go buy venza, not knowing it was your hardwork and doggedness that paid off, or someone liked your work and gave you a mad ass contract running into millions.



Benefits

1. You get free pass as a woman

2. You get more customers

3. Customers could even encourage you by telling you to keep the change.


Businesses/jobs you can engage in as a woman


1. Keke driving business

2. Barbing business


3. Painting jobs


4. POP jobs


5. Stamped concrete fixing (juicy)


6. Auto engineer


7. Tiling


8. Electrical wiring


9. Carpentry design


10. Roofing.


Make that bold decision as a woman today and take up jobs that the society thinks are only meant for women.


Bless you.

Women enjoy more patronage and leeway in male dominated blue collar jobs if prospecting customers can get past the gender.

I notice that agberos do not collect money from women drivers (buses/cars and Kekes).

If the woman's vehicle breaks down, the men quickly jump out to help her push it. Peeps are also willing to leave their change with them.

In retrospect, I think it goes both ways.

Male hairdressers also enjoy more patronage and leeway.

LoL..

The majority of Nigerian women are NOT interested in jobs like these.

People that have not finished living baby girl lifestyle, you're telling them to engage in jobs that will spoil their wig and makeup.

true it does go both ways, it is a pity that many ladies do not really understand the vast opportunities that await them when they fit into such roles. I'm currently sponsoring a lady on barbing training and when she is done, i'll set up a barbing shop for her so she can fend for herself. I really don't like the way she asks men for little things like data or airtime.

her mum recently called her for money to subscribe for gotv, her dad barely gives her money and she finds it worrisome.


From her conversations with male friends on phone, she always asks for data or recharge card, i try to advise her against such as they would take advantage of her as she doesnt have to depend on men for her day to day needs.

Women cant do mens job, they will get old faster because of the stress involve. So they prefer simple joba like hair dresser, fashion, model, makeuos job and many more, so getting into the male jobs is a no no... Let them keep enjoying their baby life style as one of the commenter said above me..

You don’t get a free pass as a woman.

In fact, you constantly have to prove yourself. Prove that you’re capable, just as smart, work twice as hard to earned your place etc. all that to still be assumed less knowledgeable or competent.

But yes I agree with the topic. Women should venture more into traditionally male dominated fields. That’s one way to fight the assumptions and generalizations

Who will now be slaying on the Streets, who will occupy the front sits of those exotic cars that is littered everywhere?
If only girls know the power they have in the above mentioned field, the won't relent in taking up such job as occupation.
I know a girl who is into furniture and interior decoration, she has made it big and living the life of a super woman at her own expense

I disagree with your first assertion, as long as she can prove that she's good in what she does then she stand a better chance than a guy in getting a job. Mind you even as guy you have to proof that you are good in your job before you can be given that job.

Most girls are just lazy, even if you bring any of such jobs to their doorsteps they will not fancy it. They're now used to the fast money culture.

Let's not forget that most of our children are not raised/trained on the art of making money.

Desperation/humiliation often drive some of our girls to pick up these types of jobs.
