The entire time we were growing up, my father was trying to convince my brother that he was going to be an Heating & Air Conditioning serviceman when we grew up.
I knew dad wanted 1 of his youngsters to take over the Heating & Air Conditioning company when he retired, but my brother didn’t want to be an Heating & Air Conditioning serviceman.
He wanted to go to college as well as become a veterinarian. I walked up to dad as well as told him I would take over the Heating & Air Conditioning company, however he laughed. He said he wanted his company to read, & Son, as well as not & Daughter. I told my father he was a sexist as well as walked away from him. I didn’t talk to him for more than 2 mornings, as well as he didn’t notice. My brother was still being harassed about becoming an Heating & Air Conditioning serviceman, as well as I told him to ignore dad. After graduation, I signed up for classes at the local college… Dad assumed I was going there for cosmetology, however he was wrong. I went to college to become a certified Heating & Air Conditioning serviceman. My brother kept saying dad was going to be furious when he found out, but I didn’t care. He didn’t ask me what I wanted to do, but assumed what I would do with my life. Had he said something about me becoming an Heating & Air Conditioning serviceman, I would have cheerfully said that was what I wanted to be. Instead, I went to Heating & Air Conditioning college, graduated with honors, as well as am now laboring for 1 of his largest competitors. The only way I’ll ever work for my dad is if he makes me a laboring partner in the Heating & Air Conditioning company.
