“You start a carpentry apprenticeship at 19,” she wrote in the caption.

Her followers praised her for her stunning looks and many shared their experiences from working in the trade.

“This is what I always wanted to do but was so sacred that I would be judged,” one social media user said.

Lauren replied, “I was worried too! But the way I see it — you’re gonna get judged no matter what you do … so you may as well be enjoying it.”
