I'm sure it is much harder for women to find jobs rather than men. Especially where I live where the majority of the work is hard labor. Out here though there is always work if your willing to sweat a bit. It may not be the most glorious or best paying job but its a job nonetheless. Course one of the best jobs around here is the oilfield. Big bucks but on the other hand you will have no life other than the oilfield lol I most likely won't need a college degree but I'm going ahead and getting at least an associates degree. Better to be safe than sorry :/
