Even though I don’t want to make a career in heating and cooling, I currently work as an HVAC technician.
I didn’t have a real passion for heating and cooling when I entered the profession, but I was more so looking for a path that didn’t involve getting buried in debt. Growing up, I always wanted to be a professional gamer, but when I told my parents, they saw it more as a hobby. My step dad began to insist that I get a job that actually paid enough money for me to live on my own. I decided he was right and began looking for something. I soon found that a local heating and cooling company had a program in which they trained new hires at no cost to them. I thought this was an amazing opportunity and was soon hired and earned my HVAC certification. This made my step dad and my mom very proud of me, and it was a respectable source of income. The money I’ve made as a heating and cooling technician has been very good for my gaming career. I am able to invest in games and technology that I need to stream my gaming. In addition, I don’t have to worry so much about failing as a gamer because I now am specialized in a trade. If I ever need a job, I am qualified and prepared to return to working in heating and cooling. The more I learn about heating and cooling, the more value I see in the job. However, my priority is still gaming. I am hoping to make a larger income as a gamer. As soon as I can replace the income that I make as an Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C worker, I will quit my HVAC job and begin streaming as my full time job. Without this HVAC job, I would never be able to pursue my dream job, so I will always be grateful for the experience of working in heating and cooling.
