You have to find something that energizes you and for some it may be repairing heaters and furnaces, which is fine
This is a quote I saw in the bathroom in a cafe where I used to do open mics back about 13 years ago. It made me rethink my goals in life and switch from chasing the American Dream to pursuing the arts just for the love of it. Ever since changing to this field, life has taken me on some wild rides across the globe. I’ve done comedy in several countries and experienced a lot of things I wouldn’t have if I just stayed in my engineering job. I think life is about experiences and connections and I’m going for it all. But when it comes to heating repair and maintenance, I don’t think I want to experience any of the headaches of doing it myself. There are a lot of people who know way more than I do about repairing these complex systems and it gives me more time to focus on the things that really matter, like the pursuit of a passionate career. I can’t imagine being a heating and cooling technician when what I really love doing is performing on stage. I was a painting contractor 20 years ago before getting into comedy and I was so unhappy because I knew there was more to life than what I was doing. You have to find something that energizes you and for some it may be repairing heaters and furnaces, which is fine. Just listen to your heart and let it guide you in the direction which will make you the happiest. If your dream is to own a heating dealership then go for it!
