I am currently at the end of my rope with work.
I swear to you, I work all day, every day without breaks.
When I lay down to sleep at night, my work issues follow me to bed. I lay awake and worry about what I’m doing right and wrong, and all the tasks I need to complete immediately. I don’t think I can keep up with this level of stress, so I’m looking to make a big career transition. Honestly, I didn’t know what field I wanted to go into for a long time, so I remained in the same tortuous position for several years after this realization. But as of last week, I truly feel like the world delivered me a solution. I was driving home, stressed as usual, when I got caught in traffic right in front of a brand new trades school. They had advertisements outside for all sorts of new HVAC programs that were under development, and I was immediately interested in what the heating and cooling industry would look like. After that, I got online and started looking for more information on the new ventilation certification. Soon, I found that there were more option in the heating and cooling field than being a simple HVAC journeyman servicing local residences. In fact, it is possible to be an expert in the field of commercial HVAC inspection for public places and large corporate institutions! The job entails traveling to important locations, accessing the current heating and cooling plan, and running diagnostics to determine if the HVAC system was up to date or in need of routine maintenance. In this position, I will have far less work to do and more freedom to make my own schedule. I’m excited to meet local business owners and contribute to their high quality indoor air.
