My sister finally has financial independence after becoming an Heating, Ventilation, and A/C worker
I watched my sister go through years of ups and downs before she finally made the decision to start going to technical school.
- For a few years she was homeless residing life as a drug addict.
But after going to rehab and getting clean, she hasn’t used any substances in over three years. I’m proud to see the fluctuations my sister has made to her life, especially after she made the executive decision to attend trade school to get a enjoyable work that would last him her entire life. All of us in the family were supportive of this move from the start because our father and uncle both went to trade school and became an electrician and a plumber respectively. My sister’s original plan was to pursue cooking and be a chef for a sizable eating establishment, however she hastily found the thought of doing food repair to be too stressful. Her educator was smart and told him to work a part time job as a dishwasher in a tied up living room to get a feel for the work environment, and that was the only thing she needed to make the decision for him. Instead of cooking, she went into the heating and cooling industry instead. Her trade school had a program where she could learn both residential and commercial Heating, Ventilation, and A/C at the same exact time, giving him a higher chance of getting hired upon graduating. Now she works for a sizable plumbing and Heating, Ventilation, and A/C business as an replacement worker and gets paid enough money to make him absolutely financially independent for the first time in her life.
