First IC3 Test

I took my first IC3 test tonight and blew it out of the water. The test was easier than I thought it would be. Now that it is over a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Let's just hope the next one goes as well as this one did. 

 

Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in Air Conditioning Technology – Food Service Refrigeration

I chose the Food Service Refrigeration degree for a few reasons. The number one reason is I can take this degree anywhere and get a job. Every town in the country has a gas station or a grocery store. Food service refrigeration deals with mainly but not limited to ice machines, reach-in coolers, walk-in freezers, and ice cream machines. Secondly I was told by an instructor of mine that when the housing market crashed in 2008, the refrigeration guys were the only guys working. That same instructor also told me that they tend to make on average $50,000 more that regular HVAC technicians. Lastly, and this is a big one, I'm getting to old to be climbing up on roofs every day.

I'm looking at graduating with my degree at the end of the spring semester 2018. That's one year later than I should be, but with the way the classes are laid out and work it makes it hard to get it all done in two years. After this semester I'll only have three more required A/C classes and I believe four more general education classes.
