Blue is the New White #63 - Kate Parr, KickAss Careers

Today's guest is another awesome ambassador for KickAss Careers. Her name is Kate Parr and she's an industrial mechanic millwright in Ontario Canada. Coming from a family of university graduates, she never pictured herself in the trades. She always got good grades and was an excellent student. So naturally she was always told she was "too smart" for trade work. She knew herself better than that though. Always learning best doing hands on work, she dedicated herself to learning trade work. Her intelligence certainly comes to light in this episode when we discuss everything from the perception of the trades, to what can be done to change it, to how it can be used to live your definition of success. As for her definition of success: a career that allows her to be independent, happy, and challenged.
