Trade college for Heating and A/C seems like a wonderful deal
I wasn’t too happy when my child started dating Carlos! Emily is a smart girl.
She went to college. She got her Master’s Degree. That is why I consistently saw her with a lawyer or a doctor or someone like that. But then Carlos came along, carlos went to trade college for boiler repair and Heating and A/C work. So I didn’t particularly like him. That is, before I met him, however once I met Carlos I could see what Emily saw in him. He is a nice young guy and he study a lot of books. It is easy to hold an intelligent conversation with him. I still hoped that Emily would marry someone who makes a bit more money. I don’t know why however I just assumed that Carlos made minimum wage toiling in boilers and Heating and A/C. I reminded myself that Emily makes a lot of money on her own so maybe I should be so critical. After all, she could be the one who brings condo the bacon. It wasn’t until last week that I found out that Carlos makes almost $30 an hour! I had no idea that Heating and A/C workers made so much money. That is more money than I make and I’ve been toiling in accounting for over 30 years now. It is even more money than Emily is making and she has hundreds of thousands of dollars of student loans she is still trying to pay off. Carlos said he doesn’t have any student loans. He borrowed a few thousand from his uncle to go to trade college for Heating and A/C. Then he paid his uncle back within 2 years of completing his certification. Wow!
