Jennifer will be turning 18 next week, and she has a lot of massive choices ahead of her, as her father I have always tried to guide her in the right instruction, however allow her to make decisions for herself, I don’t like these “helicopter parents” who always meddle in the lives of their children, the way to build strong adults is to let them make their own choices, and hope for the best, Jennifer has expressed interest in going to school, but I have asked her to think about trade school.
- I read a blog about how cooling companies are actively seeking female cooling techs, because ladies are so under-represented in the industry.
A little online research led me to confirm this information, and some companies even offered a hefty signing bonus for qualified cooling techs. Aside from the promising task market in the cooling industry there is also the matter of paying for education. It is quoted that students at the local school graduate with over 60 thousand dollars in loan debt. It costs only a few thousand dollars to take all the needed cooling courses to prepare for the certification process. In terms of starting a job, a cooling job seems like a much safer bet than a school education. I suppose a lot of hostesses and baristas who have school degrees and crippling loan payments, and don’t make half the salary that a cooling tech can make. Jennifer is free to make her own choice, as always, I hope she chooses a job in the cooling industry.
