Hard Lesson Learned from a Broken Hearted Helicopter Parent

Having our HVAC system replaced this summer has reminded me that there are a lot of good paying jobs that don’t require a college degree. On the ball HVAC technicians around here, not even running their own business, can make $80-100K per year. Bonus: your job won’t get sent overseas. Other trades also pay well. College isn’t right for everyone nor is it needed to have a self-supporting, happy life.
