When I attended Heating & Air Conditioning night school, I thought they taught all the basics.
It’s funny how missing one small lesson can make such a major difference.
They take it for granted that the Heating & Air Conditioning students knew how to change the old air filters in the Heating & Air Conditioning systems. They also think every one of us see where the air filter needs to go. I knew none of this. No one taught myself and others how to change the air filters, let alone where it was located. I went to a task even-handed in school & loved talking to the Heating & Air Conditioning specialist who was there from the local Heating & Air Conditioning dealership. I wanted to find a task that would be sustainable long into the future. My dad always preached about task security, & I would love to have that with the Heating & Air Conditioning dealer. Once I got into Heating & Air Conditioning technical school & started taking classes, I was realizing how little I knew, & wondering if I was on my own. I talked to some of the other students & found out I wasn’t alone with my ignorance. That didn’t mean that any of us were going to quit Heating & Air Conditioning school, but it made us want to toil that much harder instead. The people I was with and I teamed up & started a study group, by the end of the Heating & Air Conditioning course load, every one of us was vying for the top of the class designation. After taking the big Heating & Air Conditioning certification class & passing the exam, I wasn’t number one in the class, but I was number three, & my more than one best friends got number one, but all of us all got placed with one of the local Heating & Air Conditioning companies.
