Episode 37 - Molly Allgood

She Wears Work Boots

Molly Allgood went to university and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Honours Human Kinetics. Throughout University she spent the summers working up in Parry Sound Ontario building, renovating, and repairing cottages. She also helped with the work to open and close them, and although she loved it, it didn't seem like a career. Besides, at the time, she thought wanted to be a cop. When she realized that she actually hated her degree and being a cop wasn’t going to work out, she remembered her summer job and found a 1yr carpentry program. Today, with apprenticeship complete she works for Brolaws Construction doing renovations and building custom homes, and is just one test away from completing her Red Seal. In this episode we discuss the pressure to meet the expectations of others, the circuitous path to finding what you love, and how finding your fit in the trades can lead to finding your fit in your own skin, too.
