    That's interesting that Texas law requires the extra step. I would google HVAC Certification or look up local collages that might provide it.

    Yea, the college that I've contacted has told me that there will be a 4 year period for me to work as a an HVAC apprentice before I can do what I'm aiming for.

    They tell me a 4 year apprenticeship is required. I regret getting a bachelor's in science as it's useless.

    Heavygage,

    From what I can tell, you just joined last month. All of the posts that you have made are on this one thread that you started. You brought up a question that is apparently specific to the state of Texas. Many of our good members who are not from the state of texas went out of there way to try to help you research this. One member from texas did respond and it sounds like he may have helped you a little bit.

    I find it completely disgusting that you are jumping all over our members and being a complete ***!! There are many members here with a wealth of knowledge, including myself. We are willing to help people, but not hand feed them everything. Myself and at least a handful of others are EPA certified Refrigerant Recovery Technicians, that could have helped you along the way with general (not Texas specific) questions regarding refrigerants and other topics. Your piss poor attitude on this thread will result in an ignore from me for at least the foreseeable future. Why don't you go introduce yourself, get an attitude adjustment, apologize to everyone that you were a **** to and maybe some of the knowledgeable members may decide to point you in the right direction.

    If you can't do this, then yes, for you and your poor attitude, a google membership may be better for you.

    Mark

    Mark, of course, it is somewhat off-putting when someone here says, "Google it", as if I haven't thought of that before. Google is how most of the members here, if not all, found scrapmetalforum in the first place.

    That said, I want everyone here to know that Mark is misrepresenting my attitude, and if anyone else was offended as Mark obviously was, my apologies.

    No, Google is not a better source than the SMF.
    I could tell you what applies to me in my state, city and county but the laws or requirements for you are going to be different. Maybe you should get into the ewaste business. I hear there's an ounce of gold in every PC.
