I worked for a bank for some 15 years and it was a major disappointment when they eventually let me go. I was close to being able to retire, but then these people brutally cut me off. I don’t even know why they let me go, something about having to cut back on staff. It wasn’t fair. I mean, they at least gave me a severance package and I have my 401k at least, but it still was uncalled for. I should have been able to work until I was able to officially retire. I ended up using some of the money in my severance package to go back to school. This time around, I had an idea of what I wanted to do. One thing that I always complained about while working at the bank was the miserable temperature control settings and poor air quality. I think I got on management’s nerves to be honest, and perhaps that has something to do with me being released from the bank. So I thought it would be cool to work in the HVAC industry fixing heating and cooling systems. I would like to talk to people about investing in energy efficient systems that allow you to get incentives from the government on your taxes. So I went to school and earned my HVAC certification. Before I knew it, I was out there working on all kinds of different heating and cooling systems. It wasn’t exactly easy learning how to do this work, but I did well in school and learned a lot from my training. Now I’m making way more money than I was making before, and I think I can build a nice retirement working in this industry for a decade or so.
