I really want to be supportive of my children and every single thing that they do. I never want to discourage them from trying something new or following their dreams with my own personal doubts or uncertainties about their decisions. That’s why I try really hard to keep my opinions to myself and to put on a smiling face when they present me with a new idea for a brand new business venture or career change. In fact, I try to keep my mouth zipped with all of their adult decisions. However, today I am sitting down with my son to have a real talk about his decision to enter the heating, cooling, and ventilation control industry. Don’t get me wrong, I think that there is nothing wrong with the heating, cooling, and air quality specialist career field. Everybody needs advanced indoor air temperature controls and some form of air purification in their residence. However, I don’t think that everybody is cut out to be an air quality control specialist. It’s probably not that hard to make it through heating and cooling certification school if you are attending a high-quality trade university. In fact, I would recommend that anybody with a strong work ethic and stiff upper lip should consider becoming a professional HVAC technician rather than attending an expensive traditional university. The thing is… My son has no work ethic or backbone. If he encounters any problems as a heating and cooling technician, he will probably break down and cry. I don’t want my son to be embarrassing himself at local heating and cooling repair jobs. I also don’t want him to be outcast from the other HVAC technicians at the heating and cooling repair shop. I’m not sure how to tell him this… But I think my son is too sensitive to be an HVAC Tech.
