1) Do you love, I mean LOVE finding out how things work?

2) Do you like science?

3) Do you like doing things with your hands, besides updating your status on Twitter?

4) Do your friends ask you to fix things for you?

5) Can you feel safe on a ladder?

6) Do you have a basic understanding of what electricity is, and what it does?

7) Can you put on a set of winter garments and feel comfortable working outside all day in the cold?

8) Can you work all day in the hot sun, for 14 hours?

HVAC might be for you.
