Instead of going to college, my daughter has decided to go to a local career center that we have here in town instead.
- At first, I wasn’t too sure about her decision because I always thought that she would want to go to college and follow a more traditional career path.
So when she told us that she thought she might want to go into the heating and cooling business, it was a surprise to me. This fall, she’s probably going to sign up for her first session of HVAC classes and I really hope that she’s going to enjoy them. I think that she will be great at being an HVAC technician once she gets through all of the training and certification classes, but I know that it will probably be hard for her. She has never really been a very hard worker, I have to say. I know that the heating and cooling industry will be a big difference for her because she’s going to have to start getting up early. She will also have to start getting her hands dirty when she’s working on furnaces and air conditioning systems. She’s really not used to getting dirty, and that’s one of the reasons that I was surprised that she wanted to be an HVAC technician. Maybe she just doesn’t realize what all the job entails. I guess she’s about to learn, though! I hope that we aren’t just wasting money on the HVAC classes. More than that, I don’t want her to waste her time on classes that she won’t end up using later on.
