Sara Farrell, RISE Estimator, shares her journey for Women In Construction Week: “I graduated from the University of North Florida with a bachelor’s degree in English, my focus was creative writing. I taught 6th grade language arts for a year and half after graduation before realizing, very quickly, I was not passionate enough to justify the salary. We (my husband and I) wanted to start a family and it made sense for me to change career paths and search for a better long term career path that could support our family as it grew. While in college, I worked as a warehouse manager for a plumbing company. I loved breaking the gender boundaries and started looking for a career path in a man-dominated field. “Finding a career in construction was truly a God thing. Did you know that the construction field has one of the LOWEST gender pay gaps at of all career fields? The average gender gap is 82.1% but the construction field is 93.4%. We are truly a vital part of closing this gender pay gap. “So, ladies, be proud, be strong, and NEVER do it how a man does it - do it better.”
