Good for you Lexi, we really do need hard working, competent workers coming into all industries! Doesn’t matter if you’re a male or female as long as you like working and “completing a project”. The satisfaction is enormous and your professional work ethic and skills puts you at the top!! Again-good for you!!
and if you don't mind getting electrocuted for pennies on a dollar right? What people don't know she grew up in a family of electricians. So, she could easily start her own company or do her own contracting work. Yet, other's aren't as fortunate where they have to work for a company and those companies abuse you. They will push you even if it's not a safe environment they will keep telling you to do the job. The moment you get electrocuted and then see your employer quickly post your job online. That's the reality of the work. Who cares about you and what you did. We will find another dumb guy that will put his life on the line for pennies on a dollar. That is why no one does that work. One guy having 20 years experience almost got electrocuted by touching grounding wire... that was coming from a different building. Someone connected a hot wire to ground. He was taking the ground rod out and sparks were flying and he did it without gloves. He quickly stopped and put on gloves and was confused.
Lovely to see people being so supportive, especially older people. I sadly talked to an electircian who thought the exact opposite. He said women have no business in men's jobs and used his bad experience with his female coworker ("she sucked!" ...or maybe was inexperienced?) as an evidenced that all women will be bad at this. It was disheartening to read, especially since Lexi is one living proof of that not being true.
@@kitcat2449 I worked with quite a few female colleagues and I found them more “particular” about their quality of work as well as their organizational skills! You can create this in Lexi’s finished products!!
Right on Lexi. Nothing but mad respect for what you continue to do while inspiring the next generation . You definitely deserve ALL of the flowers you are getting and continue to get.
@@kronk3892 For one, she’s a female in a field predominantly occupied by males, she’s making it VISUALLY where young women like my daughters can see they have choices if they want to go to school or take up a trade, she’s confident in what she’s doing which gives young girls, women promise that they can do it, more importantly, Lexi is showing young girls that they can be independent if they want to and still be happy. As a father, that’s all I ever want for my girls, instead of being told it’s a man’s job and they can’t work it. That’s what I mean by inspiring. My daughters can work on their own vehicles, carpentry, something they learned from myself and their uncles. But seeing a woman like Lexi do what she does and still show her feminine ways at and after work, is inspiring to my daughters.
Channels like this help shed light on real life, not that fake glamorous fluff you see on social media. Not everyone is meant to be the biggest sales person, entrepreneur, or whatever bs has been pushed for the last few years. Im an electrician myself and I enjoy seeing my generation kick that other shit to the side. Congratulations 🫡
Good for you Lexi ! I'm entering my 25th yr as a commercial/ Residential Electrician and 1/3 of that has been as a service tech in GA. I even spent 5yrs traveling, doing Solar and generators for Disaster relief. I've tried to get quite a few people on doing this work but as you know, this kind of work will break you. Its not for everybody. Most people don't last very long when they start learning what we really do out in the field. So yeah, I applaud you! 🤘🏻👏
Awesome young lady! Hats off to you from a septuagenarian former industrial electrician. I admire your dedication, skill set and work ethic. Keep up the good work!
Its cool to see you on the news and hopefully you will get more people interested in your channel and you can help more people coming in to your feild.
I have been in the building trades and contracting world for more than 30 years. I am so thrilled to see the diversity of trades people today. I am especially proud and thrilled to see some of the younger trades people like yourself promoting the careers and work. Keep doing what your doing.
It is so impressive what you have accomplished and the message you put out to people that they don't have to go to college there are options in trades. The traded are what keep this country running. Congratulations on everything
Hey Lexi. I don't know you outside of YT but I was a proud Papa seeing you on Fox. I don't think you realize how much you are doing for our industry. It would be great to see you do something with Mike Rowe. I recently read that for every 10 construction workers that retire, only 3 young people enter the industry. Your generation of skilled trades people are going to be earning more than doctors and lawyers 20 by the time you hit 50.
Great to see a young woman performing quality work. Three of my coworkers are younger then 35 and in at least ten years never saw one of them open the code book our company supplies each of us with.
Congratulations girl I just in enrolled to become electrician myself after being in the medical field for 11yrs. Very exciting for this new experience and journey
Strange that I’m beaming with pride and I don’t even know you. You’re generation gives me hope. Growing up I was taught that you either go to college or flip burgers. This mentality did my generation (X) and the entire country such a disservice. Keep setting a bad-ass example and get that money Lex!
Great Job, I'm 64, I also when to trade school. Be came a union painter, after that, 30 yrs as a Correction Officer (retired), Became a LV 1 RV tech, now going to RVTI school in Elkhart IN to become a Level 2 tech. All good jobs with out college. Thanks Don
After school I became a paramedic, then bought a tool franchise which eventually led me to playing pro golf. Started an apprenticeship programme 4 months ago ( 54 years old now) . Regretting the fact that I didn't go electric when I was fresh out of school!!! Now trying to absorb as much as I can in my career switch....
Lexi, I was rather amused that none of the news people pronounced your name the same. 🤣 I have this same problem except that I was not blessed with a short last name so most of the time I get people looking at me with that "oh sh*t" expression.
It's so annoying and embarassing for the stupd media that they can't even say her name right. That's usually the first thing they teach in journalism. I learned it in a junior high elective class. I'm not even close to media and these are supposed "professionals".
I never understood why people started looking down on the trades. 50 years ago they were respected as good honest work. But ten years ago everyone wanted an office job. And lower level office jobs are frankly BS most of the time, but even a part time drywall helper can point to something and say they built that.
I would have to disagree on the timeline. Back in the 60's and 70's, when education was more affordable, many saw a college education as a way to get good-paying white collar jobs that didn't involve much physical labor. Once people began graduating back then I believe the sense of privilege started growing, and like a cancer it spread. Now that higher education is more and more unaffordable (thanks to the federal administration policies of the 1980's), I believe that frustrated young people tend to look down on blue collar workers more out of compensation. They themselves are not doing well, but it makes them feel better about themselves to belittle others. I would hope that's starting to level out now, but then look at how much people now rely on others to run and fetch for them for next to nothing because they can't be bothered to go to the store themselves.
@@whiteknightcat I don’t disagree with what you say, but I was a kid in the 1980s and I remember that people would tell kids to stay in school so they wouldn’t end up being a plumber or a construction worker, etc. The status issue was very real.
@@stacymcmahon453 Yes, that's what I meant. That's about the time the kids from the 60's and 70's were getting out of college and people were beginning to place a greater value on college than trades. It was just a coincidence that the 80's were also the same time that federal government at the time decided that public education was something that did not need to be subsidized like it used to be. I guess I was lucky - I graduated in 1984 before tuition costs began their slow climb up. And in the end, I ended up with a career that didn't even need college to begin with. It helped, but it wasn't required.
for me I don't mind going to trade school to learn and know the way of how to fix and do yourself. but for I mes up my body from my old job doing stocking it meess up myy back and knee and ankle and should
Good for you! About time people recognized talent in the trades!
Being a busy electrician and now famous it's no surprise that time is precious. All the best Lexi!
lol she’s not famous😂🤣

What is she doing differently that hasn’t been done before?
