Boomers get confused about things sometimes, so I like to verify all information, especially when it comes to the HVAC business and my future in it! It turns out Pedro was right, and that HVAC techs were highly in demand thanks to COVID making everyone think about the air they breathed
When I was about to graduate high school I had a couple of major decisions to make. I was overwhelmed by the enormity of what I was supposed to decide – do I try and find a job, or do I take the plunge and go to college? To me college felt like a huge gamble, because of how expensive it was, and with no guarantees. On the other hand, the only jobs available to a high school graduate were menial, so what was I supposed to do? My Uncle Pedro told me about attending trade school, and how learning a trade like HVAC work could give me a big leg up on a great career. I listened to him, and then immediately went on Google to verify a lot of what he was saying about the HVAC industry. Boomers get confused about things sometimes, so I like to verify all information, especially when it comes to the HVAC business and my future in it! It turns out Pedro was right, and that HVAC techs were highly in demand thanks to COVID making everyone think about the air they breathed. I learned that I could study HVAC work in night classes, and work in the industry during the day to get a little experience. I wouldn’t get rich, of course, but I could potentially make enough money to pay for my HVAC classes, which means when I graduated I would have zero student loan debt, and start working as a full time HVAC tech right away! Props to Uncle Pedro for giving me good advice!
