Electrical books because half of the time you'll be correcting sparky's fuck ups

Real. I fucking hated HVAC. 70-80 hour work weeks, coworkers constantly trying to get me to break up with my (then) gf because "we're a family and girlfriends are a distraction from your job", dealing with gen Xer coworkers who peaked in highschool constantly trying to make you look like a fool or blaming you for their mistakes to make themselves look better, the heat strokes, working in attics that have like 3 attics and 2 roofs in them because of shitty grandfathered building code, ECT. My advice? Unless you're genuinely ok with no-lifing or are looking to one day own your own HVAC tech company, it's seriously not worth it. I did it for 2 years and ended up having a heart attack on the job. Coworker told me to "quit being a pussy" because 3 other coworkers had heart attacks in that month alone and they're "fine". After that, I got in my car, turned in my company uniforms, told the boss to go fuck himself, and left. Never looked back and honestly best decision I made. I'd probably be dead if I continued down that path.

This sounds like a cult

I hate living in lie based society. Liars should be fired on spot and preferably thrown off a building.
I never heard poeple get fired for lying. Im talking proven lies verifiable by records, text or camera. I have heard plenty of cases of poeple being fired or not prokoted etc for pointing out someone who lies.
We live in society run by demons.

There’s an app “Skillcat” that’s like $10/mo and will get you the EPA certifications and has some cool stuff. You can get EPA Universal cert within their trial period if you grind it out. I recommend it to get a little head start.
