I’m wondering if online HVAC training can help someone get an entry level job if they have no field experience yet. What else would make someone more hireable?
I’m seeing HVAC programs with very different prices. Some are short and cheaper, and some are long and expensive. How much is reasonable to spend if the goal is to get hired?
FMF is great for finding deals, but lately I've been thinking more about value than price. Some of the best purchases I've made weren't necessarily the cheapest ones. They were the pieces that fit well, held up over time, and became things I reached for again and again without even thinking about it.
For example, I picked up a made to measure jacket from StudioSuits during a sale a while back. It wasn't the lowest-priced item I'd ever bought, but the fit ended up being good enough that I wore it far more often than some heavily discounted pieces sitting in my closet. That experience made me realize that cost per wear can matter a lot more than the initial price tag.
I've definitely bought clearance items that seemed like amazing deals at the time but barely got any use. On the other hand, a few carefully chosen purchases have become wardrobe staples and probably delivered the best value overall.
Looking back, what's a clothing purchase that exceeded your expectations and ended up being one of the best values in your wardrobe? I'm always interested in hearing about those unexpected wins that people keep reaching for year after year.
I've always enjoyed walking through a fireworks store before a holiday, but online stores seem to have much larger selections these days. Do you still shop in person or mostly order online now?
