I work as a sales rep for my local heating and air conditioning company.
I would much rather be doing something else as I have no real interest in heating and cooling products, heating and air conditioning home services or anything having to do with a central HVAC system. However, it pays the bills and I can not get anything else until I get my college degree that I am going for while working here. In the meantime, I am here selling heating and air conditioning products and services to local residents around the area. I get paid an hourly rate which is the only reason I keep this job. If I was to live on commission only, I would be a bum on the street because it is darn near impossible to sell more than a few things per week. It could be for simple heating and air conditioning tune up and check ups, it could be for a heating and air conditioning repair, or it may be for a brand new and very up to date central heating and cooling system. Whatever the case, I do sell, but not enough to live on commission. I should get my college degree in the next year. And at that point I will be quitting this job and moving on to get a job in something that pays better and what I really want to do. This is exactly what my college education is going to be for and why I need it. This heating and air conditioning business is simply not for me!
