What are the best trades to learn?

[Greenhornet]

After following Cashapps advice from different threads

I'm on the verge of starting a paid 12 week program for HVAC
after completion of the course they offer you a job straight away
the company offers, plumbing...insulation... energy efficiency, residential and commercial service and electric work.

What is some good advice for school? not study hard but out of the ordinary stuff, what should I expect? and what department should I veer towards in your opinion?
I am a very open book with a lot of sales management under my wing... so I'm thinking they want me in residential, but I was initially into the commercial aspect of building
a project for 12-18 months at a time. Pay would be nice, so id like advice on that... but also its not the end all be all. I'm looking for what's most rewarding and challenging at the same time
so I can stay focused with what I'm doing. So far I've aced most of my tests and did a little above average on another... I'm just looking for solid advice for the next level. How hard is it to really diagnose between a few hundred types of furnaces? are they all basically similar once you get inside... is a boiler way harder? I just want to test the waters so I know what to expect because the physical part doesnt bother me at all.

Hvac is a good trade. Ppl are always gonna need heat in the cold weather and cooling when it’s hot outside. U will learn a lot in this course. Probably more than u expect. Get a good multimeter (fluke or fieldpiece). Do not skip classes.
Look to get into service and repair to use your sales experience.
@A.V. is also experienced in hvac

thanks for the response and quick tips ... I'm really going to have to crack down huh? I'm not the best in a classroom setting but I'm sure I can put my mind to it. Half of its lab tests with 90 furnaces on site and half is classroom stuff. I'm prepared to pass my first go round and I really dont have the time or resources to try over. They've already started trying to scare people out of it, because they dont want to spend money and time on people who wont stick with it. I'm 32 and want to learn, not for the money but for the knowledge as a man mostly. They mentioned that most people dont fail if they show up and 90% of people that fail make excuses to be late or leave early. I just want to make sure I'm not in way over my head with knowledge.... any tips on what I should master first so when I walk in I have foundation to build ontop of? These cats got a 30k square foot warehouse with everything possible and a dummy house to mimic crawling through attics and crawlspaces. They are going to bring it all and I know, staying ahead will be key in how I come out on top. I'm sick of working these ticky tack jobs where people are disposable and I want this one to stick.

Word sounds like a decent school. My only advice is to show up to every class and be as on-hands as u can. Some of it is intimidating at first just fuk with it and get your feet wet. As u go Ull learn that it’s all mental.
it’s a great industry to be in.
It’s always about the money bro.

CNC Machining..

Pays highly, lots of jobs available as old machinists are now retiring and dying off.
Highly recommend it, especially for Black people with a technical ability because it is great fun, though stressful and you will certainly get hired.
We need more Black people in production and technical fields, we need that experience.
