My friend made the right choice as a A/C worker
I am still paying off my debt and I am unemployed.
I am beginning to see that I am the foolish one in this story. You see, my friend and I met in middle school and we stayed friends. In high school, when everyone was talking about careers and their futures, I asked my friend what he was thinking of going for. I was expecting something reasonable, like a doctor, engineer, professor etc. Instead he told me he was going to be a HVAC technician. I still remember snorting in disbelief. Of all of the things he could be, why would he choose something lowly like a HVAC specialist? Worse than that, he was going to go to a trade school instead of a proper college. I couldn’t help but to shake my head. I was going to college to be a history professor, so it was obvious that I was going to be doing the better of the two of us. Both of us graduated, although he graduated earlier than I did. He was now officially a certified A/C specialist, and I had my degree. Years later, he has a high paying job, as HVAC specialists are always in demand. He has a nice home and is not in debt. I am still paying off my debt and I am unemployed. It turns out a lot of people want to be history professors. I now see that I was wrong all along, my friend intelligently chose a career that was always going to be in demand, and was crucial in some places. I chose something that could be discarded rather easily. Maybe I should consider being a HVAC technician as a career.
