Cool Careers for Girls in Construction

Construction builds our worlds. Not only does it light up our lives and put a roof over our heads; it also builds the roads upon which we travel. People with careers in construction create and fix so much that affects our lives on a constant basis. Without construction workers, we would have difficulty accessing electricity and water. Do you like learning more about construction -- how buildings and roads are designed and built, what skills are needed to operate a traffic roller, or how electricity REALLY works? Can you imagine yourself one day seeking a challenging, rewarding job that involves construction? You may be the perfect candidate for a career in construction! This book features a variety of jobs that involve construction, such as heavy equipment operator, electrician, master plumber, and architect. Come explore the backgrounds of successful women within these fields and more! You'll also get a sneak peek into their real lives and how their careers affect their families, as well as the personality traits and physical and mental abilities needed to do these jobs.Pasternak, Ceel is the author of 'Cool Careers for Girls in Construction', published 2000 under ISBN 9781570231315 and ISBN 1570231311.
