Some kids have big dreams like being a firefighter, a racecar driver, or something that is out of this world, like an astronaut.
But not my son, he at the age of 6 wants to become an HVAC tech.
He watches Grandpa fix things all the time and my son is memorized by him. I don’t see anything excited about working for a heating and cooling company but I’m sure my son doesn’t think about those things. I think he likes seeing people smile as my grandfather makes their life a little better by making sure their lives are in comfort. So whenever Grandpa is around, my son tends to gravitate to him and ask for recent stories about him helping a fellow neighbor or his job and what kind of heating maintenance or cooling maintenance he had to do recently. It’s just absolutely strange that he is taking an interest in this field. At the same time, he is looking ahead to his future and knows where he wants to be in life when he grows up which is far better than where I was. His age 6 is more advanced than I was when I graduated high school. Still, he is 6 years old and has plenty of time to change his mind and want to do something else when he grows up. This could be a phase but if he chooses the HVAC business, then I’m all for it. Plus, then if I have issues, then he can help fix my heating and cooling system. I will definitely take advantage of that!
