Train me

Edit: I'm being downvoted but I'm serious. I'd love to do that job but all employers want to do is complain. You want a good employee? I'm right here, just train me in the job.

No you have to go into a decade's worth of debt for third party training first.

Alright guys I just thought I'd throw a joke in, albeit probably an overly cynical one. I have no idea what it takes to do HVAC at a level that guy is proposing. I just pull fiber optic cable for a living, if I could learn HVAC and double my pay with that guy's company I'd do it in a heartbeat

Not to mention full time training for poverty wages. I'd love to see this $120k/yr job listing. Probably calls for 20 years experience in the field.

And then hope you don't throw out your back and become permanently disabled before you're able to pay back those debts. A lot of people who glamorize the trades fail to take the risks and morbidity into account.

Try a local vocational high school. Tri-County offers night classes in all different trades.

Wish I could but I'm too busy working two jobs just to live paycheck to paycheck.
