Clogs don’t see gender!
Gabriella Snell, has garnered attention due to her attractive post-plumbing vibe and wardrobe.
The Sun, a British tabloid, featured the young New Zealand native’s TikTok where she can be seen transforming from pipe-cutting tradeswoman to a Saturday night stunner.
The video, appropriately titled, “Did someone order a hot plumber?” has received thousands of views.
“50-percent plumbing and 50-percent talking shite,” is the headline on this wonder-plumber’s Instagram page.
Snell’s Instagram account, @plumbwithgabs features the young Kiwi installing toilets and glamming up with the girls.
The staff at Poopable appreciates and loves to recognize the strong, beautiful women out there twisting wrenches to save poopers in distress.
The field of plumbing has historically been male-dominated, but it is important to note that the industry is slowly evolving. There has been some increase in the number of women pursuing careers in plumbing.
Where are the lady plumbers?
Can anyone say plumbers crack? The image of the disheveled plumber is tough to escape. Some research, claims that over 96 percent of plumbers are men.
There are many factors that contribute to the low representation of female plumbers.
- Societal Stereotypes: Traditional gender roles and stereotypes have often associated plumbing with physically demanding and dirty work, which has led to the perception that it is more suitable for men. These stereotypes can discourage women from considering plumbing as a career option.
- Lack of Representation: Limited visibility of women in the plumbing industry can make it challenging for young girls and women to envision themselves pursuing a career in this field. The lack of role models and mentorship opportunities may further deter women from choosing plumbing as a profession.
- Perceived Barriers: Women may encounter certain practical challenges in the plumbing profession, such as physical strength requirements, work environments that may not always be female-friendly, and concerns about personal safety on job sites. These factors can create additional barriers and discourage women from entering the field.
- Educational and Apprenticeship Opportunities: Access to plumbing education and apprenticeship programs can play a significant role in career development. Limited availability of such opportunities specifically tailored for women will ultimately make it harder for women to gain the necessary skills and qualifications to pursue a plumbing career.
It is important to challenge stereotypes, and encourage women to consider careers in plumbing.
The staff at Poopable cannot agree more. A career in plumbing can be very lucrative. According to sites like Indeed, Snell is likely raking in at least $30 an hour helping us all flush away the previous night’s poison.
The math speak for itself. A plumber in New Zealand can make a mildly stinky but honest living at over $60,000 a year. In the US, the top 25 percent of plunging plumbers can wrench-in close to $80,000-a-year. The Poopable staff are hoping are new fan favorite plumber is earning more than that, with her ambassadorship of AEG Power Tools.
The Poopable staff want to raise a plunger and salute Gabby Snell!
