On the job: What it takes to earn $80,000 as an HVAC tech in Corona, California (via CNBCMakeIt)
In high school, Roger Cuadra, now 40, played football and baseball and tried wrestling and track — but he wasn't a star student.
"I was hanging out with some of the wrong crowds for a little bit, but got back on track and started focusing more on school," he remembers. "Unfortunately, I didn't get to finish school there. I had to go into continuation school and finish off that way." In California, continuation schools are dedicated to helping students who may not otherwise graduate from high school get their diplomas.
In 2009, Cuadra heard that a local HVAC distribution center was looking for a driver. He felt that this was his opportunity to work his way closer to a job like his father's. In 2017, he earned $55,000 as a third helper on one of NexGen's HVAC crews. After one year, he rose from third helper to second helper and later, to lead installer and technician. Now his base salary is $80,000, but his total salary depends on the amount of business he does. Cuadra says he can expect to earn $120,000 this year thanks to commission bonuses.
