Now that my wife and I’s kids are getting older it is so much fun to see the paths in life they are heading.
While some of our kids take after their mother and are pursuing careers in the political field, my youngest son is convinced that he is going to follow in my footsteps and become a certified each HVAC repairman.
I want to support my children in everything that they try in life, but if you know anything about my son you would know that he is far from a handyman. My son is much more interested in things like cars and girls more than anything else, so you can imagine my surprise when he came into my office one day and asked what all he had to do in order to “do what I do”. During the course of my career working as an HVAC repairman I never saw my son taking interest in what I do for a living in the slightest until a few months ago when I got a new work car. For some reason he seems to think like working as an HVAC repairman is a breeze since he sees me at the tail end of my career and all of my tests and tribulations are behind me, and he thinks his career would be the same. Hopefully he ends up doing something that is more his lane before it’s too late and he entrolls himself in HVAC training and finds out the hard way that he should have done something else as a career choice.
