I’ve been getting into arguments with my spouse lately, and the arguments have been about our oldest boy who is going to be graduating from high school this year.
He is keenly intelligent, and he makes superb grades nearly all around, despite the fact that he never had much of an interest in some of the more difficult math.
The point of discussion between my spouse and I is self-explanatory: he wants him to go to college, despite the fact that he wants to become a Heating and A/C worker, and I support him in that choice. He thinks that because of his bright mind, he is better off going to college because he can get a degree and will be automatically making more money. I went to college myself, and I was saddled with a considerable amount of debt, and I’m under no illusions that one must go to college to make a good living. It is true that our son is quite bright, despite the fact that he prefers to labor with his hands. He prefers solving mechanical troubles and I have tried to explain to my spouse that the Heating and A/C corporation can be honestly lucrative indeed. After all, people are going to be using weather condition controls forever, at least I surely hope it’s never going away! Air conditioning is especially important in our village because of how tepid and humid it gets. Our boy undoubtedly won’t lack a job if he chooses Heating and A/C, and I hope that my spouse will understand this eventually. Our son is an adult, and if he has carefully considered his options, my superb friend and I should support his choice. I feel he would make a fine heating and a/c business owner one day!
