I do not know what I would do without the HVAC company that I work for.
I am an HVAC technician, but I was not an HVAC technician for my entire adult life.
In fact, if you would have asked me in school, I would have told you that I would have never even thought about becoming an HVAC technician. It wasn’t even one of the options when I was in school. I was a criminal when I was in school, although I never really got into much trouble in school because I never got caught. However, if you would have asked any of my friends where they saw me in the future, they would have told you that I would be in prison. They were right. I got popped for drug charges, and I ended up in prison for quite a few years.I am glad for that time because I cleaned up my life. When I got out of prison, life was tough for a while. People did not want to hire me because of my past. I almost ended up in trouble again just because I was desperate for money for food, but thankfully, the HVAC company helped me. The owner of the HVAC company was very compassionate, and he wanted to help. As a felon, I knew that I would be treated differently, but the owner of the HVAC company was very fair. I would not be allowed to be alone at any home, and I did not do the service calls as an HVAC technician. I even had to work for the HVAC company for a year before they allowed me to start training as an HVAC technician. Still, the VHAC company offered me decent pay, and the owner of the HVAC company became almost a mentor to me.
