She started leaving me pamphlets for HVAC technician certification at the local trade school
Does anybody else feel like childhood education is a bit of a joke? When you’re growing up all of the TV shows and movies tell you that you can become anything you want to when you’re an adult. They Harold your option to become the president’s, an astronaut, a famous artist, or anything you could imagine. The public school system is exactly the same. For years, teachers and aides have been telling kids that they can become anything on Earth if they put their hearts and minds to it. This is all well and good, except when you get to high school and reality hits you. Suddenly, everyone is a lot more concerned about the practicality of your future career. All of a sudden, there are limitations to what you can be. My mom still always encouraged me to follow my heart in my career, but I have to say that my wife is a lot more logical than that. She has been insistent that I obtain my central heating and cooling licensure for a few years now. When we first met, she constantly talked about how much she enjoyed indoor air temperature control. She dropped a lot of hints about the importance of advanced air purification and air quality control devices in her home. Then, she started getting pushier about the HVAC industry. She started leaving me pamphlets for HVAC technician certification at the local trade school. She started bringing up my new career in the air quality industry at family dinners. Basically, she left me no choice but to become an indoor air quality control specialist. While mom always said I could do whatever I wanted, the truth is I have to do what my wife wants.
