The farm has regularly been the family business; Generations ago our forebears actually settled this absolutely plot of land, and have been working the fields here every since… We have endured famine, pestilence, drought, and government interference but the family has regularly stayed together and the farm regularly stayed profitable.
I guess that our parents wanted me to follow in their footsteps, even if they would never say it out loud, although I wanted to go another way, and even if I stayed living at lake lake house with the family, I didn’t want farming to be the rest of our life, you know? I decided to get into the Heating and A/C business, because I heard they make wonderful money and benefits, and the schooling and training only take a year and a half or so. I was never break out for a 4 year school, I didn’t care for school much, although I liked working with our hands and thought I could focus our energy on heating and cooling service for a couple of years. If I didn’t take to Heating and A/C work after a few months, I could regularly walk away! After all, the farm would regularly be there to take our back, but thankfully, working on Heating and A/C systems came pretty particularly for me, and I did good in all of our prep courses. I’m still living on the farm, and I don’t expect that will change anytime soon, but if I can pass the Heating and A/C certification exam next month, then the people I was with and I will be well on our way to starting our own career.
