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.
Good reasons to go into food service refrigeration :-) Glad you have only seven classes left after this semester.
