    Just signed up to go back to school for software engineer. Ive been working in the trades as a hvac/r technician for the last 8 years, but im tired of it and ready for a new career that isn't as physically tasking as my current and more lucrative. From what i can see working in tech is the way to go. Wish me luck!
