Before you decide that this is the career field for you, it is important to understand the pros and cons. The pros include a high demand job available worldwide. There will always going be a need for refrigeration, and air-conditioning work, whether that be in production facilities, hospitals/medical buildings, office space, supermarkets, or residential. The trade is highly versatile and always changing, which is good for someone that gets bored easily performing the same monotonous job. You will learn skills in multiple fields such as pipe fitting, electrical, tinning, welding and mechanics (rebuilding compressors such as centrifugals, screw compressors and reciprocating compressors) The pay isn’t too bad either, and is entirely up to you.
