Pretend you're wearing a barrel

At 35, Lynn Rand, the mother of five children, was without a husband and surviving on welfare. Deciding to take control of her own life, Lynn took the advice of an employment counselor and enrolled in a welding course. After several months of job-hunting, Lynn found a position as an apprentice engineer. The camera follows Lynn as she welds, does maintenance work on boats and vehicles and drives a half-ton truck around town. As she discusses her new-found career, there emerges a realistic portrait of a pragmatic and courageous woman.
