I wanted a job that would last for years.
Let’s face it, the world is changing quickly and in many cases some of the jobs that people hold today will be obsolete in the next ten years.
I just graduated from high school so I wanted to go into a field that would be relevant no matter what.
I could have gone into a medical field because that will always be necessary but I didn’t want to go to school for the next six to eight years to get my degree. I wanted to go into a field where I could complete my education in less than four years and not end up with $100,000 in student loans. My friend told me about a trade school that he was considering and I decided to look into it. After reviewing all of the programs that they offered, and many of them would always be needed, I decided on the world Heating and Cooling. After all, the need for climate control is not going to change especially when you consider the fact that global warming is constantly changing the environment around us. According to the brochure I could complete my certification as an HVAC technician within a year to a year-and-a-half. This meant that I would be able to start earning a living in my field in far less time than many of my classmates who are going to a four-year University. In addition to receiving my education in a much faster manner I would also have far less student debt to deal with in years to come. A career in Heating and Cooling will certainly be relevant no matter what and I am looking forward to not only working in that field but possibly owning my own business one day.
