One thing leads to another in life. Try something-- if you don't like it, move on. As for paying to learn something ...well that's life. If you learn something-- then it's not a waste.

Regarding the response to your note on considering a career in the HVAC industry. It can be the most rewarding thing you can do for your career choice. If your choice is finding an accredited school, Then do research about the school & what former students have said. Be committed & focused on learning as much about the industry as possible, Then if the school has a placement program look into who you might be placed with & ask as many questions. What will be expected from you & the opportunity to grow. If you apply yourself to making it a career choice you can write your own ticket with in a few years. As an employer from a 30yr old HVAC service firm. good candidates are hard to find. And as I always will say after 40+ years in the trade it is by far of all the trades the best one to get into. Hang in there.
In Response. Trade schools offer an overview of our industry. But some offer false promises to students as to their value, at the end of their graduation. I have hired a lot of tech school graduates. The point I will make is you must be humble apply your self to being able to work hard & willing to learn. have social skills & communicate. A good employer will provide a path to grow your career. My next point is Union Apprentices. I went thru a 5 yr apprenticeship, But we had to be employed with a union contractor during our apprenticeship. Which really gave us an advantage, for the learning curve. But now 30 yrs forward. Union help has changed as well, with some of the members. I have hired ex union guys who have worked in union jobs that lets say there employer has a lot of work that is 3-5 year guaranteed contracts with Super Markets, City Contracts as an example. I have more in house trained & harder workers then some of the latter I described. They can buy there way into a union & get paid great money with big egos, But soon there work habits & there idea of an 8 hr day will soon be seen. You make your career path as you choose to apply yourself. Either being a great employee for someone, or deciding owning your own business one day. Lets here it.
