00:00:00.000 So in the jobs that we listed earlier that men perform, vehicle technicians, carpenters, electricians, metal workers, plumbers,
00:00:08.400 machine drivers, forklift drivers,
00:00:11.060 vehicle delivery drivers, on-site construction workers, and
00:00:15.780 window fabricators.
00:00:17.740 How long do you think you would work in any of the 10 jobs
00:00:22.980 listed that men perform?
00:00:27.480 I wouldn't because it's not my thing to do.
00:00:30.000 Yeah, is that like, I can pick any one of them?
00:00:33.600 I can't.
00:00:34.100 Yeah. So like, how long do you think you would last before you had to cut?
00:00:39.480 I mean, you know, it kind of depends on like the scenario.
00:00:42.300 Like I'm quite into the idea of a zombie apocalypse.
00:00:44.940 And I reckon I could, you know, like cope if I really needed to.
00:00:49.140 But if you're, if you're asking me like, you know, I've, I've got a choice here.
00:00:53.080 I can carry on leading the life I do live in which I sacrifice the amount of money that I'm able to earn.
00:00:59.480 And in order to be able to work from home for five days a week, nine to five, and manage my own time, because I have other priorities.
00:01:09.440 And so, yeah, if I have a choice that is not something difficult, then I'm not doing something difficult.
00:01:15.980 I think I'd last six months.
00:01:19.000 Yeah, I think then I would quit.
00:01:20.880 I would last.
00:01:21.840 As a plumber, I would be gone.
00:01:23.660 I would last.
00:01:24.240 These are things I'm into though.
00:01:25.760 I'm into building.
00:01:26.740 I'm into doing this.
00:01:27.640 So that stuff I wouldn't mind doing and perfecting.
00:01:29.940 I do, I do my own DIY.
00:01:31.780 And like, if there's, you know, a sink that's blocked, I can deal with that myself.
00:01:36.480 Why aren't you doing it then?
00:01:38.740 Why aren't I doing, well, no, I am doing it at home.
00:01:41.780 Because.
00:01:42.300 I mean for the lady that likes to build. 1.00
00:01:43.500 Me, why aren't you building?
00:01:44.520 Oh, sorry.
00:01:45.160 Why am I not building?
00:01:46.440 Because I work a job where I'm able to make money to travel the world, because that's what I want to do right now.
00:01:51.400 I want to travel.
00:01:52.180 I'm trying to work on my acting.
00:01:53.840 I'm trying to do this and do that.
00:01:55.000 So that's why I'm not.
00:01:56.760 But guess what?
00:01:57.440 If I had money, if I had the, what did I say the other day?
00:02:01.200 I want to go into mechanic school because I want to learn how to fix cars.
00:02:05.020 This is stuff that I'm genuinely, it's survival.
00:02:07.440 I'm sorry.
00:02:07.880 I have a survival mentality.
00:02:09.320 So these are things I actually want.
00:02:11.100 Yeah, you want the zombie movies as well.
00:02:13.780 You said I want the zombie movies.
00:02:15.120 Yeah, yeah.
00:02:15.540 What's your day job?
00:02:17.720 Bartending.
00:02:19.000 And we make tips.
00:02:19.880 So I make a lot of money.
00:02:21.720 And that allows.
00:02:22.480 Okay, do you see the disconnect?
00:02:25.860 From what?
00:02:26.380 You're on survival, but your job is a bartender.
00:02:29.140 Yeah.
00:02:30.160 But if you need to survive, you do what you need to do, right?
00:02:32.280 Exactly.
00:02:32.880 I bartend at night.
00:02:33.860 I work on sets during the day.
00:02:35.400 Yeah.
00:02:35.820 I work two jobs.
00:02:36.320 There's nothing wrong with that.
00:02:38.640 But I'm saying that's not like what you're saying.
00:02:40.260 You like to build things.
00:02:41.780 But that is what I do.
00:02:42.760 I think you like to talk.
00:02:44.180 No.
00:02:44.720 Which is okay.
00:02:45.360 I like to talk too.
00:02:46.200 That's why I do what I do.
00:02:47.260 I actually like to build things.
00:02:48.880 Like I literally sit at home, like when I, let's say, move something breaks, I will fix it.
00:02:54.560 That's things that I actually like.
00:02:55.820 When things go wrong, I will fix them.
00:02:57.780 Yeah.
00:02:58.060 That's the point.
00:02:58.580 That's something I enjoy.
00:02:59.140 If you actually dedicated time to becoming a builder, you will make way more money and a way better career than what you're trying to do right now.
00:03:06.520 I would have to always work.
00:03:07.500 You just said you love building.
00:03:09.380 I would have to always work though, right?
00:03:11.040 I would have to always be at work, right?
00:03:12.740 I'm a person who I like freedom, right?
00:03:14.660 So my job gives me freedom.
00:03:16.000 I could take off whenever I can do it.
00:03:17.620 I don't have to come in for a month if I don't want to.
00:03:20.220 That's the type of freedom I like.
00:03:21.580 If I could be a builder, right, and still make the same amount of money a year but only come in half the year, why wouldn't I do it?
00:03:27.880 You would easily cut.
00:03:29.040 You would easily cut.
00:03:29.660 But you see, I don't have the same luxury of what you just said.
00:03:34.080 As in?
00:03:34.660 As what?
00:03:35.520 I can't choose a job where I can just get up and go whenever I want.
00:03:39.640 Why can't you?
00:03:40.800 There's a whole bunch of male bartenders I work with. 0.99
00:03:43.360 They do the same thing.
00:03:44.380 They travel the country singing on tour different things.
00:03:46.300 This is why we say women can never understand the disconnect between women and men. 0.75
00:03:50.320 Just like, obviously, I'm doing a job I enjoy.
00:03:53.060 I'm doing a job I love.
00:03:54.500 And I appreciate having this kind of job.
00:03:56.200 Most people are not even in the position I'm in right now.
00:03:58.760 But I still can't just get up and go whenever I want because of the responsibilities that I have as a man.
00:04:04.860 Yeah, you plan around, obviously.
00:04:06.440 If you want a construction job, tell me.
00:04:08.620 I have connections.
00:04:10.060 Why would I want a construction job?
00:04:12.600 But that's the thing.
00:04:13.380 You're saying you don't have the luxury because, again, that is the job that you chose.
00:04:16.920 I chose a job that gave me those luxuries.
00:04:18.980 No, the reason why I don't have the luxury to get up and go is not really about the job.
00:04:22.880 It's about the goals I have for my life.
00:04:25.800 So if I were to be getting up and going whenever I wanted to or whenever I felt like, I'm literally putting stops on my way to get into where I need to be in life.
00:04:34.980 But why is that?
00:04:35.860 I have goals, right?
00:04:37.100 I'm sitting here on a podcast, which is networking, right?
00:04:40.120 Which is furthering my goals, right?
00:04:42.500 Look at every successful person that has made any amount of money that you can ever be proud of or say this is a good body of work.
00:04:49.480 They never had the luxury to get up and go whenever they wanted.
00:04:52.080 But we're saying again, women should be, you know, wives and teachers and not think about money. 1.00
00:04:58.220 Men can't think like that.
00:04:59.640 And that's why men are where they are. 0.93
00:05:01.500 Because men would literally work 80 hours a week to get to where they need to get to. 0.55
00:05:05.800 But who says that I don't sit there and work?
00:05:08.460 I work 80 hours a week in a 40-hour amount of time.
00:05:12.820 What?
00:05:13.880 Easy.
00:05:14.440 Right?
00:05:14.840 So instead of working seven days a week, right?
00:05:17.400 Instead of working one job seven days a week, I'll work two jobs four days a week.
00:05:21.880 Same thing, right?
00:05:22.860 I'm putting the same time in.
00:05:24.600 And this is literally what I do.
00:05:26.520 And you know what I do in my off time?
00:05:28.000 I go to try to further what I'm getting into, right?
00:05:30.700 I'm trying to move to the U.K. soon.
00:05:32.420 So what am I doing?
00:05:33.520 Making a name for myself in the U.K.
00:05:35.200 I'm still furthering my career.
00:05:37.920 We're doing the same thing.
00:05:39.160 We're just taking different routes to do it.
00:05:41.460 If a man decides that he needs to work 80 hours a week to further himself, that's on him.
00:05:46.400 I chose a job that's going to give me the luxury to do what I need to do for myself that works for me.
00:05:52.900 So tomorrow is your first day on the building site.
00:05:57.720 How long is it going to be until you're back doing what you're doing now?
00:06:01.820 Because I think that's more the question, isn't it?
00:06:03.880 Is what, if I start working on a building site?
00:06:05.960 Yeah, so construction.
00:06:06.680 How long do you think you'd last in a construction job?
00:06:08.720 In a construction job?
00:06:11.740 What is it?
00:06:12.340 You get two weeks out of vacation, three weeks vacation a year?
00:06:15.780 Maybe.
00:06:17.820 What are the wages?
00:06:19.100 So this is how I would think about it.
00:06:20.860 I would literally think about it like, okay, if I work a construction job for five years, right?
00:06:25.080 I'll work that job, make enough money to build my own, whatever company, whatever like that, and now start another business from that.
00:06:33.260 That's how my mind works.
00:06:34.380 Five years.
00:06:35.880 Five years to make enough money to have my own business.
00:06:39.040 You would last five years.
00:06:39.460 No, she's staying in.
00:06:40.460 She's staying in the industry.
00:06:41.780 I'm staying in the industry.
00:06:42.980 She's in for life.
00:06:44.140 She's starting tomorrow.
00:06:45.320 So, the next, like, Trump Tower, it's going to be Peeps Tower.
00:06:49.820 Next door, they're building a building.
00:06:51.460 I'll sign you up.
00:06:52.720 You can move to the UK.
00:06:54.040 I promise.
00:06:54.700 If they give me a visa, I promise I'll move here tomorrow and start building.
00:06:58.320 You can get a master's degree and get a visa, you know.
00:07:00.760 You can marry me instead. 0.99
00:07:02.560 There we go.
00:07:03.600 You can get a visa through a master's degree, though, just so you know.
00:07:07.900 What, here?
00:07:08.740 Yeah, you get it with a two-year visa or a two-year degree.
00:07:12.540 No, you can get a master's degree in a year, one year, and then get a visa.
00:07:15.320 At the end.
00:07:16.040 And they'll give you a visa.
00:07:17.140 What, an indefinite visa?
00:07:18.180 Yeah, it's like two years or something.
00:07:20.960 What, you mean coming here, going to school here?
00:07:23.440 No, like, you get a work visa once you graduate.
00:07:27.000 That's what I'm saying, here or back in America?
00:07:28.860 No, UK.
00:07:29.700 So, do you want to move to the UK?
00:07:31.160 Okay, so just apply for school.
00:07:32.760 Yeah, okay.
00:07:33.480 I have a bachelor's.
00:07:34.420 Yeah, that's what I did.
00:07:35.900 Yeah, smart.
00:07:36.680 Thank you.
00:07:37.200 That was one of the best advice I've had so far.
00:07:39.620 I appreciate it.
00:07:40.260 Yeah, yeah.
00:07:41.000 Sisterhood, very nice.
00:07:41.920 How long do you think you would work?
00:07:43.760 Have you ever worked construction?
00:07:45.680 Any blue collar?
00:07:47.000 Too good looking for that.
00:07:48.720 You know, when I was younger, like Saturday jobs and stuff like this.
00:07:52.020 Oh, yeah?
00:07:52.460 How long do you think you could have worked a construction job?
00:07:57.320 Not very long, to be honest.
00:07:59.060 I mean, I don't find joy in it.
00:08:01.400 I get stimulation through the practicality of it, yes.
00:08:04.400 But, I mean, you know, I went to study engineering.
00:08:08.220 You know, so it's similar.
00:08:09.660 But I quickly realized I want to get my hands studied for the rest of my life.
00:08:13.680 So, how long?
00:08:15.880 A year.
00:08:16.580 A year, yeah.
00:08:18.520 I said six months.
00:08:20.360 I was like, I couldn't be me.
00:08:23.200 I'm like, you're a good looking man.
00:08:24.480 Of course you're not doing construction.
00:08:25.940 Come on.
00:08:26.600 That's not a construction phase.
00:08:27.800 I said a lot of very handsome men in construction.
00:08:29.640 All right, we're going to do.
00:08:30.180 We're going to do.
00:08:30.220 We're going to do.
00:08:31.140 We're going to do.
