Hey, I’m looking into joining SMART Local 45 in Des Moines and was wondering if anyone here has experience with sheet metal as a career. Is it a good trade overall? What’s the work actually like day to day? Also, if I go through the apprenticeship, **can I realistically become an HVAC technician**, doing service, troubleshooting, AC/heating, refrigeration, etc., or is the apprenticeship mostly ductwork, fabrication and installation? Would appreciate any advice from people actually in the trade. Thanks! #industry
