Discrimiation

Explanation:

Although Vanessa has the necessary skills and knowledge to work in any auto repair shop, discrimination can be the reason why she has not been able to find a job in this field. This can be related to social construction bout gender and work, implying there are some jobs considered "suitable" for men or women only.
