Im thinking about going to school for it but don't really know much.

Im not mechanically inclined so I don't know if that will be a problem.

And most importantly is it good $$

It's Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning. So clearly you have to do mechanical tasks. You're going to have to install units so you're going to have to drill holes, run conduit, do basic dry wall work to install head units, basic electrical work, charge coolant in AC units, do basic calculations to design ducts systems, cut ducting with aviation snips, screw shit together, tape shit with metallic tape, and so on. It's construction work... Then you have to trouble shoot machinery and fix it when it breaks.

I know nothing about it, so I had to use google. In my state, entry-level is over $50k with the average of around $60k. Experienced techs make as much as $80k. Guess a lot depends on where you live, like anything.
