Blue is the New White #62 - Dee Durant, KickAss Careers

Today, I sit down with another inspiring young woman. Dee Durant got her first taste of the skilled trades when she was in high school. But she was fascinated with the weather and still intended on setting out to be a meteorologist. Discussing a more practical career path with her parents, she ended up pursuing a career in the trades despite being told she was too smart. Hmmm, where have we heard that before? Once she made the decision to be in the trades, she went to school to be a power line technician, but eventually decided against that path. Not wanting to hang up her tool belt just yet, she remembered her love of the weather. Drawing the association between lightening and electricity she decided to remain in the trades as an electrician. Realizing that her definition of success was to help and inspire people to better their lives, she joined forces with KickAss Careers as an ambassador and has found a way to pursue all of her passions using the skilled trades as the ultimate catalyst.
