I live in Dallas Texas and am interested in learning more about HVAC. I worked in a shipping recieving job for 5 years making around 50 grand a year, untill I got laid off two years ago. Since then I have been working alot of dead end jobs. I am wanting a career that pays good and I can retire with. Any ideas on the best ways to get started with this profession in this area? I have been reading the forums alot and I know there are alot of different opinions, but I would be grateful for any feedback. I would also be grateful for thoughts on schools, unions, and companies. Thanks in advance!
