YourBeanstalk’s Opinion: While most of the women in the auto industry service gasoline-powered vehicles, there are still a small percentage of women who work in the testosterone-fueled diesel industry. These are brave women who dare to go into a career that other women probably don’t even know exists. But the perk? It’s a stable career with good pay and is a good fit for a woman in any stage of life.
