HVACR pays—fast. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects 6 % job growth and roughly 37,700 technician openings every year through 2032. New grads can step into roles that pay up to $80 K, almost 50% more than the average Arkansas salary of about $53 K—and they do it without four-year-degree debt. In short, this trade out-earns many office careers while offering rock-solid demand nationwide.
