I have finally been approved to start a daily meeting at the local high college… My idea is to expose these students to the idea of trade work, care about plumbing, roofing, or being an electrician, to let them think they have a lot of options, then i remember when I was in college, all my teachers said I needed to go to college if I wanted to have a great job.
- I ended up going to trade college, and wound up with an amazing job, and I want to make sure the young people of today have that same chance! By laboring in the Heating and A/C industry instead of going to college I have spent the last 23 years making great money, although I can speak from the heart about Heating and A/C work, I also want to provide these teenagers a opening to experience other trades so they don’t know limited, then the concern is that I don’t think firsthand about roofing, or plumbing, or being an electrician, so I need to bring in some other trade experts to talk to the students; For any of them who show an interest in heating and cooling work, I can arrange a ridealong where they spend a few hours with a single of my techs.
They can witness a few condo calls or commercial Heating and A/C inspections and get a taste for what the day-to-day work is like. It requires some specialized education, of course, but an Heating and A/C tech can work a manageable schedule and make great pay; Unlike laboring in fast food, Heating and A/C work offers a bright future for teens.
