I work at the technical school in the HVAC department and I really love it.
Whenever they first built the technical school over on the other side of town several years ago, I have to say that I did not really put much stock into the place.
I never really thought that they would be able to make a go of it, because we live in a place with such a small population. Usually the people who live here try to get away from here as fast as they can. That’s exactly what I was going to do, too, up until they built this technical school. I thought that I was going to be stuck here forever and I would have really hated that. Now, I don’t really feel stuck at all anymore. Now, I feel like I am staying because I actually want to. The technical school and my job teaching in the HVAC department has really made all of the difference in the world for me. I can’t believe just how many young people come to take our heating and cooling certification classes. It’s funny to see how many younger guys are in the HVAC classes because I never thought that we would ever stay that busy. My HVAC classes are usually filled to overflowing, though, and sometimes I even have a waiting list for them! It’s unreal to me just how many people really want to learn how to do HVAC work around here. It’s nice to see young people with a really strong work ethic these days.
