Ron wrote that he felt he got tricked into the whole “go to college” scam. He went to college without really having any idea of what direction he wanted to go. He graduated with a degree in Personal Training. Ron started working as a personal trainer and after about 8 months, he received a letter in the mail wanting him to begin paying off the $95,000 school loan. Ron at this time was 23 years old, married and his wife also had school loans. Instead of thinking about buying a house and starting a family, they had to work on paying off these student loans. Both of them were working hard, but did not seem like they were getting anywhere.
Ron’s father-in-law had a small HVAC shop and Ron started working for him. Ron really did even know what HVAC was, but he was willing to learn and had good work ethics. At first Ron felt like a failure because he was not working at a job of his degree he thought that manual labor was more for unskilled workers. Ron fell into depression. Until one day he decided that he was going to make HVAC his career. He saw that he was able to do things that others could not. He decided to make HVAC his passion. Ron stated watching YouTube Videos and listening to podcasts. He started to gain technical skill and knowledge. Ron is now only months away from taking the Master’s Test for HVAC.
