Then I completed contactors school and the Florida class A air conditioning contractor exam. This was a two day test each day with two 4 hour sections and an 8% passing rate! I ran my own air conditioning company while attending college classes in computer science and engineering. There was a point in time when I had customers which I repaired their computers and air conditioning in the same service call.
My contracting license which I still view as one of my greatest accomplishments.
