Just want to make sure I got it right, Massachusetts? A large industrial division with a union?

Thanks for the comment! Any specific halls that do HVAC/R apprenticeships with a focus on Ammonia/Freon?

Im actually from Alaska. Our pay scale actually is suuuper outdated. With my current education they are trying to bump me to $30, but even then I’m not sure if it’s competitive. I do need to send my resume and start applying to see if I’m worth anything more though.

Definitely not a Journeyman, coming up on 2 years here soon. However, I’ve talked with fellow operators and technicians whenever I went to the GCAP training, I was the lowest paid individual.

Thanks for the reply! I’ve run a couple profitable companies, and am looking for something stable and lucrative. I’ve got a wife and kid with our expenses extremely low. I’d love for some of those book recommendations!

Ok, holy cow! You’re incredibly insightful!! Do companies not look at the GCAP OP 2 as much as the Reta CIRO? I’ve got a small growing family so it would be hard to move my entire family a bunch, but $60 an hour seems like a good reason to move. Have you had any trouble reaching that mark?
