I was disappointed when I learned that our son kept getting fired from different jobs after high school.
I thought he was doing alright but my wife had to break the bad news to me.
I had to have a serious talk with him to see what was going on. He told me that he thought all the jobs were lame and there was nothing he was really good at. I realized that this was pretty serious and so I stayed there to talk to him. I asked him what he felt he was good at and he thought about it. He said he was good at playing video games. I mentioned that he might be able to get into video game programming. He thought that sounded pretty cool, but he realized that’s a competitive career and hard to achieve success unless you have put together something entirely original and exciting. Then I mentioned the time when he worked with his uncle on the HVAC system in our home. He smiled and said that was a good experience and it was fun fixing the HVAC system. His uncle used to be an HVAC professional but he is now retired. After I saw how well the HVAC was working, I knew he would make a pretty good HVAC professional. He said that would be alright being an HVAC professional and when he learned that he could start working within a year, he decided to go for it. He went to take classes and eventually achieved his HVAC certification. Now he is working with the other HVAC pros and he is enjoying his career immensely.
