I simply took every available course to give myself the widest variety of exposure, as I did not know where I would end up getting hired.  <br \/><br \/>Admittedly, I have seen some entry-level helper and HVAC technician jobs, but when they &quot;low ball&quot; me at a starting wage of $14.00 to $16.00 per hour, I am not going to bother with them (as much as I hate my current job, at least it pays the bills, unlike some of those entry-level jobs)."}
