I have seen many open positions for in residential with service manager, installation manager, and dispatch manager. I find residential positions are all sales based/driven. I will say its not for everyone. You also have to give up your weekends and evenings. Its a 24/7 position. You read all the reviews where guys are over worked, underpaid, and no work life balance. I also find people who say well step away and let someone else make the money but 6months working 24/7 start to complain about no work life balance. Our industry is full of licensed individuals but zero experience and we have a shortage of skilled experienced labor so the service, installation, dispatch managers cant keep up with work expectations end up burning out their best guys creating issues for themselves and teams.

Fresh licenses out of trade school, with $100k in student-loan debt, expecting employer salary to qualify a million-dollar mortgage.

Now you see who makes the big bucks. The trade schools.

And what comes out of trade schools is far from a finished "plug and play" worker. They are more like the Heathkit you got for cheap because there is a hole in the box

Never heard of Heathkit? I built many of their test equipment kits, scopes, meters, audio generators,, etc. I had the original edition of this clock sitting on my desk for probably 40 years when the proprietary clock chip failed and Heathkit wasn't in business at that time and the part was unobtanium anyway. Imagine how I felt about throwing it in the garbage. RIP. :cry:

Now I see that it's back although battery powered for those GenZ'rs whose mothers told them never to touch electricity. :eek:

I built probable 2 dozen Heathkits over the years. Still miss them. Started with a Vacuum Tube Voltmeter and ended with a full blown component stereo system.
