Starting Training for a second career

tedwasright

I will begin an HVAC/R program on March second. I've been a high school teacher for thirteen years but feel like it's time to move on. I make a good salary now: about 90k. Teaching has just turned into something I'm not interested in being a part of.

My question is simple: will I ever be able to make a similar salary? I dont mean to be rude or ask a silly question here. I just want to know what people in the business think. Am I crazy?

The program seems intensive. I'll be leaving with an EPA Universal Cert.

ANY ADVICE ABOUT LEARNING OR POTENTIAL WILL BE APPRECIATED.

Thanks in advance for your response.
