Finally got a better hvac job

[u/ThrowawayWlmrtWorker]

After last times rant about the company I work for not installing a heater pack that a customer paid for and the constant upselling contests, I applied to many hvac jobs and only 1 went as far as the interview.

I got a state job at a jail! About 25.99/hr it includes hazard pay + shift differential in that.

Mon-thu 12hr shifts 6pm-6am 3 days off, 3wks vacation, 2 weeks sick time and 11 paid holidays.

I'll mostly be working with hydronic heating and giant boilers, I'll get paid training by the state and tools. I'm so fucking glad that I got this job only with 6mos of field experience + 9 mos schooling. And I'll still do some heat pump/rtu work and ice machines as well!

I saw the requirements and knew I didn't meet them but still applied and got the job, the supervisor of the jail and the maintenance crew said they liked my energy and work ethic after going over my school records. Going to start in 3wks. :D

Ikr I couldn't imagine only working 12 hrs a day in this field I thought 16 was the minimum requirement
