In this well-paid profession, women are largely absent: they only represent 9% of the profession! There is a real place for them to take.
In 2026, in which sectors will you have to work to earn a good living and not be replaced by AI? It’s not easy to see clearly at the moment even if certain white-collar professions will be strongly affected… What is certain, however, is that there is at least one profession which is not experiencing the crisis and never will be. Furthermore, she is actively looking for women.
In fact, this profession is open to both men and women and does not require lengthy studies because it can be practiced with a CAP or BEP. And yet, it remains largely dominated by men. This profession is only exercised by 9% of women according to The Student. An imbalance which could well work in favor of new arrivals. Because on the ground, expectations are evolving. More and more clients say they prefer to call on a woman. For trust, for security, or simply for affinity. And on the salary side, there is something to motivate yourself: 2,200 euros gross per month at stake from the start of your career and up to 6,000 euros gross when switching to your own account, depending on the services offered, assures Blank.
Those who already practice this profession assure that they have no shortage of work! “We had no trouble finding a place for ourselves and the fact of being women sets us apart“, relate for example Solène Cuniasse and Elie Vallet in Les Echos. They founded the company Luciole Serrurerie. Because yes, the profession that recruits women is that of locksmith. And what they say also resonates with their few colleagues. “Clients are reassured to be dealing with a woman“, related for her part Amélie alias La Serrurière de Paris, questioned by Madmoizelle.
And don’t think they can’t do the same tasks as their male counterparts. Their days are the same: emergency repairs (slammed door, lost, stolen or broken key, blocked lock, etc.), replacement of locks or installation of security systems (armored doors, alarms, digital codes and other security devices to reinforce the protection of a building).
