I am going to take a HVAC/R course. At the end of the course I will be certified to enter the Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning & refrigeration field (which pays well, a friend of mine makes about $5000+ a month as a HVAC technician).
I currently have an alright job (general maintenance / groundskeeping at a local school district) but despite my five years of seniority, I am on the very bottom of the seniority. I used to be above a couple people but they have been laid off due to budget cuts. My job is safe for another year (through July 2012) but if they decide to do any more cuts to the maintenance department next year, I will be the first to go. Ive always wanted to learn how to work on the heating/air conditioning and refrigeration units at my job, but they wont let touch them because I am not properly trained and I don't have the certifications. By next June I will be. Hopefully I will use this schooling to move up in my current workplace or go out and find a better job.
Wish me luck!
