I ended up working at one of the local heating and cooling companies here in town and I found that I really liked my job
I really like being an HVAC technician but I would be happier if I could make a living as a pianist. I have always thought that I wanted to be a professional pianist and I took lessons for years and years. My parents used to think that I would probably go on to music school after I finished up with high school, but then that ended up not happening at all. Different things happened in my life and I somehow ended up going to our local technical school so that I could get my HVAC certification. It wasn’t really something that I planned on doing, but I just so happened to be in the right place at the right time and I wanted to get it done as quickly as possible. I know that it sounds crazy to go from a professional pianist to an HVAC technician but I wanted to make sure that I had some kind of a trade to fall back on just in case my piano playing didn’t work out for me. I earned my HVAC certification and found that I was really interested in everything having to do with heating and cooling technology. I ended up working at one of the local heating and cooling companies here in town and I found that I really liked my job. The fact that I have great dexterity with my fingers due to all of the piano playing has actually been really helpful whenever I’m working on furnaces and air conditioning systems. Now, I work my HVAC job during the week and I go out and play at bars and weddings on the weekends. I guess it’s kind of like having the best of both worlds.
