1. I'm not sure about pay but I bet an AC tech would always be able to find a job. Even be easier to start their own repair business. Of course they would get their hands dirty and wouldn't be able to sit in a nice office. I also think the various educational requirements would be easier and less expensive for he AC tech.
2. Air conditioning repair for sure probably has the least changes to keep up with. My uncle was an HVAC technician (or something like that) and I know he made a fair amount of money. Still, working at Microsoft probably pays more, but since you're in Florida, an air conditioning repairer might be in more demand. Don't ever let anyone tell you that there's something wrong with being a tradesman, though! :-)
3. aircon is better but don't do it , i don't want the competition you go for the office job son, i'll do the units, oh by the way it's not the easiest way of making money some people just haven't got the aptitude to make good money coz they just don't get on with machines as well as other engineers.
4. AC - in Florida where its hot. Everyone needs AC and a tech to keep it running. You probably need to do an apprenticeship, but the pay can be quite good.
