well after graduating from high school and going to comunity college for 2 semesters I found that it wasn't what I wanted in life. So i stuck to my job in retail full time as the money started getting better(promoted) I got comfortable with the pay checks and that went on for 4-5 years. then I "grew up" told myself that I can't live the rest of my life working retail so I did the best thing that came to my mind. Go back to school..only this time I decided to take a trade route. I have always been the hands on type of guy and believe me i considered automotive, plumbing, electrical and elevator service.. i guess the reason why I choose HVAC/R was because it touches most of the things I have intrest in the electrical and plumbing. If i wish to i can go for the MVAC down the road but for now im happy with what Im learning in class..2 more semesters to go and I'll have me a certificate and a degree to go along with it...as far as jobs go Im going to be helping an old coworker from the retail industry (who moved on and became a handy man) install a new ductless mini split system in a light comercial setting.
