When my son told me that he wanted to be a professional skilled worker, I admit that I wasn’t completely supportive.
It’s not that I wanted to tell my kid what he should do with his life, but I also know that he has some limitations which would make this particular line of work pretty challenging for him.
I mean, the kid tends to be a bit spacey and disorganized. He’s not very good at getting tasks done efficiently, because he’s always creating bigger problems for himself than he needs to. This is one reason why I figured that working with heating, cooling, and air quality control equipment was probably a risky thing to do. I didn’t want to see my son get defeated about the heating, cooling, and ventilation system technician career, so I told him that he could work on his HVAC professional studies as he lived with me for free. However, I didn’t ever stop to think about what would happen to my indoor air temperature control equipment while this was all taking place. Unfortunately for me and my HVAC system, my son was very excited about his new heating and cooling equipment knowledge as he progressed through his air conditioning, furnace, heat pump, thermostat, and air purification education. He was always looking for new ways to get experience with the HVAC systems they discussed and my heating and cooling machinery was an easy target. Within a few months, my son had “maintained” all of my indoor HVAC equipment… and then the real HVAC professionals in our town had come over to repair everything he broke.
