Well, I am not not only thriving in my HVAC work, but I am the designated family HVAC specialist.
So, imagine being the only one in your family to choose a trade over a degree. Now, before you come for me, it’s better I tell my story. I have five siblings in my home. I am the last born, and university was never my thing. Instead, I’d look forward to summer time when I’d spend time with my Grandpa on his farm working on tractors and machines. My siblings and sisters are relaxing when it comes to books, then but, for me, it’s always been a struggle. I cherish to do things rather than read about them. So, I sat my parents down while in my senior year and my buddy and I spoke about the next step. I informed them I wanted to go to a local university, and train to become a heating and A/C specialist. My Grandpa had been a heating expert many years ago, so this was nothing current to the family. Mom and dad knew my mind was made up, and I am not a thriving heating and A/C specialist. I assume learning what I like in university helped me so much since it wasn’t so bad. We’d do more practical than theory work, and the instructors understood I liked working on the heating and cooling units. Well, I am not not only thriving in my HVAC work, but I am the designated family HVAC specialist. Hehehe. They do pay me, but it’s always funny when I am working on the HVAC systems in their homes. I always try to educate them about the best way to take care of the heating and cooling systems, then for example, I told my sibling the other day it’s crucial to get heat pump maintenance twice a year.
