For many women, the prospect of spending time outside is scary. The only way to get out and work is to be brave and find a way to do it. When you find a job that’s something you can do outside, you’ll be able to put your skills to work and make a living doing it.
Outdoor jobs are, in my opinion, about work that you can do outside – which is pretty much any job that is. However, the best ways to get a job that is something you can do outside are by finding a co-op or a group, and getting yourself a job in that setting.
Its something that I’m planning on doing. I’ve got a co-op in the works right now, and I’m also working on getting a job in a group. You can check out more about my “outdoor job” plan at the bottom of this blog.
It goes without saying that working outside is something that a lot of women are interested in doing. For me in particular, I think the best way to get a job outside is to go to an active co-op group. Also, I think the best way for a woman to find out if she can work outside is to check out The Girl’s Guide to Working Outside. I’ve been there and it’s really great.
I think women need to be in the outdoors more than ever. My sister has started working at a restaurant, and she says she likes the food, and its in the way that she works. For the most part, the work is outdoors, but there are some indoor tables and chairs that a lot of people are willing to use.
I’m not going to lie, I’m in love with The Girls Guide to Working Outside. I mean, I like it because I used it in an interview once, and it’s a good book. But I’d be lying if I said I don’t think it’s the best book that exists for women. Some of the book’s real gems are about how to do things that men are afraid to do.
I think the book is more for men. It’s about the various jobs that women and men perform in the outdoors (and men and women in general). Outdoor jobs like camping, hiking, and so on, are the “women’s” jobs, but they’re actually men’s jobs.
I know this is a generalization, but I have a hard time believing that the fact that your job is outdoors is not something that’s generally considered to be an “in.
Ok. In the end, I think the book is good for both genders. I mean, it’s a good job. I would love to have my own outdoor jobs for women. And if you’re a gal who is a little afraid to hike, the book is a great primer.
I think the book may be a little sexist for men because most of the jobs are outdoor jobs in the sense that they require physical exertion and physical strength. But I think it is a very good primer for women because women are often encouraged to be outdoorsy by their parents so its a good thing to learn about.
