I was better at a hands on job

When I was growing up, everyone made it seem like university was the only option, even though I wasn’t passionate about school, I went to university because I felt like I had to.

I got a generic business degree because I could not decide on a major! After a few years of finally working in an office, I knew that it wasn’t the right path for me.

I was burning out and I still had many years of work ahead of me. After some reconsideration, I realized that I would do better with hands-on work. A friend of mine works as an HVAC professional and he let me shadow him. I was certainly interested in the mental work that goes into detecting a problem with a heating or cooling unit. Additionally, I enjoy that you get to entirely repair the problem and engage with something hands-on. I took a leap of faith and quit my work. I enrolled in an HVAC training program to acquire the appropriate certifications. I was finally able to start working with my acquaintance within a few weeks. I figure down the road, maybe I can use my business degree to start my own heating and cooling dealer. It feels so good to have a career path that I am entirely passionate about. I am so blissful I took a leap of faith and entered the heating and cooling industry.
