When my wife got a major promotion at work, she tearfully told me that we would have to move across the country.
I gave her a big hug and congratulated her.
We both work, but my wife is fantastically successful in the business world and I am more of a blue-collar guy. I would miss a couple of my good friends, but I had no problem moving to a new city. Because I am certified at HVAC service and repair, I knew that no matter where we went I could find a great new job in a matter of days. This is one of the many benefits in this line of work, because fixing an air conditioner in one place is the same as fixing it in another. My HVAC certification transfers with me no matter where I go, like a college degree. After we moved, I managed to get several great job leads on my first day looking! I visited three different local HVAC contractors and explained that I was new to the area, but I had my certification and six years of experience in the field. All three of these HVAC contractors asked me to come in for a formal interview. Even if I don’t get a permanent full-time gig as an HVAC tech, one of them will certainly have some freelance work for me. This is another benefit to being HVAC certified, because now these contractors have the option to subcontract me, and pay me per job, instead of putting me on salary. I love being an HVAC tech!
