I always thought that HVAC technicians probably had it easy, but now that I am one, I know that’s not true! I really get dirty my fair share of the time
Thanks to the lessons that my parents taught me as a child, I don’t really mind getting my hands dirty when I’m working. They used to do all kinds of work back when I was growing up and I saw them do all kinds of things! My dad used to work in concrete, in painting, and in landscaping. Those were some really dirty jobs, that’s for sure! My mom used to do house cleaning and mechanic work and those jobs were definitely dirty most of the time. My parents were always covered in dirt, concrete dust, paint, and grease. I always thought that it was just a regular day whenever they came home covered in stuff like that and went straight to take a shower. I think that the whole reason that I went into the trades is because of my parents. I used to think that I wanted to be a plumber, but then once I graduated from high school, I decided that I wanted to become an HVAC technician instead. After high school, I went to the local technical school here in town but instead of joining the plumbing class, I decided to go to the HVAC technician course instead. I really liked the instructors in the HVAC certification classes and so I decided to go that route instead of the plumbing classes. I always thought that HVAC technicians probably had it easy, but now that I am one, I know that’s not true! I really get dirty my fair share of the time. I don’t mind it, though.
