Job Change Good
for Some Women

Kate Braid is a carpenter. She changed jobs four years ago. She was tired of her job as a secretary. She wanted a different job.

Braid, 36, is happy with her new job. The pay is better, and she likes to work outside.

She says changing jobs was not easy. Carpentry is hard work. Braid says, "At first I had to hold the hammer with both hands."

Braid says women are sometimes afraid to change jobs. They only dream about changing jobs. Kate Braid has same advice for women thinking about a job change: "Go ahead and do it. It's never too late."
