Unlikely to be true.

Fewer women (and men) from more privileged backgrounds seek employment that involves equipment. It is a very long standing bias that ‘working with your hands’ is more ‘working class’ compared with more…genteel pursuits. Being a physician or an attorney used to be considered on par with being a...
