    Seems to always be a lot of work for HVAC techs in the SW. A company called Goettl was willing to bring me on untrained and help get me certified. I'm a bit past my prime for clambering up roofs to service AC units though.

    No offense taken. It's also there for those that actually do well at their chosen careers. And I'm more than willing to do the work I have to do to become good at my job. At least it's not 2 weeks like some places.

    Starting to wonder if y'all are being the way you are because I'm a female. I see some of you praising the men but when I say I'm gonna get mine, you say some weird stuff. I'm not pulling that card really, just curious. I'm gonna do this and some people are going to eat crow. We are supposed to be supportive but I'm getting a lot of flack. I know there's NOT a shortage, but that isn't going to stop me. I've already got it on writing from several companies that have said they will hire me once I get my CDL a. So there's that.

    Until this post I had no clue as to your gender & to me it hasn't changed anything. Not much has been said here that hasn't been said before. It's a tough life, even tougher if you think it's not. I wish you success, no go make us proud to call you "Driver".

    I plan on it. I've been studying and watching videos, taking practice tests, and using my pickup for practice in using just my side mirrors. I've been talking to drivers anytime I see one. The school 9 chose teaches both manual and auto. I know it's a hard life. 8 grew up around drivers. I'm going to do this come heck or high water. It's been a dream of mine and I decided this is my year. I'm done putting it off
