The program took almost 2 years to complete, but he was very happy that he took the route he did.
My cousin, Mike, decided that he wanted to learn more about the HVAC industry after he was laid off of his job in sales a few years ago. When the company let him go, he was devastated. He had worked for this company for many years and had learned a lot about the sales industry. The company told him that they were being forced to let almost half of the staff go due to budget cuts. Mike had two young children so he knew had had to think fast in order to continue to support his family. Mike learned about the HVAC industry from a close friend. He had never considered a career in HVAC, but he was willing to do anything to get back on his feet. Mike researched HVAC technician schools in his area and realized that there was ample opportunity for him to succeed in this industry. Mike began his HVAC technician classes 1 month after he was laid off from his job in sales. To supplement his expenses, Mike worked part-time as a bartender while he attended HVAC technician school. The program took almost 2 years to complete, but he was very happy that he took the route he did. Today, Mike works full time as an HVAC technician and makes plenty of money to support his family. He has a schedule that allows him to take time off and travel with his family. Even though he was upset when he was laid off from his job in sales, Mike found the silver lining in HVAC technician school.
