My sister Sarah went to school to become an HVAC technician.
When she first told us that she was going to go to school to get her HVAC certification, we were all a little bit surprised.
We had no idea that she had been thinking about going into the heating and cooling business, but she already had big plans. When she finished high school, she signed up for a heating and cooling course at our local community college. At first we thought that she was just doing it on a whim. She said that she wanted to learn how to fix our family’s heating and cooling systems and we thought that it would be a great idea for her. Everyone needs to know how to do simple home improvements, right? Well, once she went to the class and started learning all about furnaces and air conditioning systems, she figured out that she really had a knack for that sort of thing. She really loved working on HVAC systems and she decided to go ahead and continue her course of study at our local trade school. Of course, not many young women go to technical school to become a heating and air conditioning technician. She was one of only three females in the whole HVAC program. I think that she actually liked being one of the only females in the program. Once she finished and got her certification done, it was really easy for her to get a job at one of our local HVAC businesses. She loves working as an HVAC technician.
