When I graduated, dad took a hard stance with me.
He told me I was still young, and he wanted me to have fun, although he always wanted me to begin thinking about starting a career.
He wanted me to think about something I could see myself doing for the rest of my life. The job had to have job security, and make me independent. I had only just graduated a month ago, and already dad was trying to throw me out of the house. He wasn’t sympathetic when I told him I wasn’t ready to get a job. He wasn’t sympathetic with anything I had to say about getting a job. He offered to give me money if I wanted to go to university, but it had to be with a career in mind. I was offended and hurt, but I immediately started to plan my life. Somewhere along the line, I realized Heating, Ventilation and A/C was a job that would always have job security, and I was happy to talk to dad. He owned the local Heating, Ventilation and A/C company, and I wanted to know if he would let me work my way through university. I don’t think I’ve ever seen my dad more proud or more animated. He started telling me about the Heating, Ventilation and A/C company and the plans he had for the future. He asked if I would be interested in getting a degree in engineering and design for Heating, Ventilation and A/C systems? I wanted to become a Heating, Ventilation and A/C professional first, and after that, I would consider the option of engineering and designing Heating, Ventilation and A/C systems. It amazed me how quickly he changed his attitude towards me, and was now talking about me becoming his partner in the Heating, Ventilation and A/C company.
