[QUOTE="Randy77, post: 15037716, member: 72759"] The HVAC/R is a really broad trade with lots of Avenues. I have been in it for 20+ years. I started as a residential Tech/Installer and worked all the way through commercial to heavy industrial Tech. I got my Mechanical license so I have my own little side business that I do here and there for extra cash, but my main Job is for a Major Pharmaceutical company as a Refrigeration Lead Tech. I have tons of vacation, good benefits and the pay is good. I live in Michigan and we have had Johnson controls in and out of our company, I cant speak for all of Johnson, they are huge, they don't seem to be what they used to. If your a young man I recommend starting from the bottom, residential and get into the troubleshooting side(Technician) and also learn the install side of things. From there you can work your way up in all different avenues, I went the industrial route. Good Refrigeration guys(Techs) are needed like crazy. You can make 6 figures a year easy with a Pharmaceutical company or Nuke Facility and if you learned the Residential side like I did, you can get licensed and pick up jobs at your leisure and knock some easy side cash, I am working for myself Saturday changing out a furnace and Air and will make $2500 for about a 12 hour day, all the while paying my kid(19 year old college student) $25 an hour to help me.
