What degree to pair with HVACR

So I’m about to finish up HVACR trade school in February, I’m sending out resumes now, and trying my best to get my feet wet. But I’ve been thinking long term, where do I want to end up. I’m a felon..don’t know how much that will matter, but my brother in law, fellow rappie, has obtained his masters in electrical engineering and that got me thinking. From digging around Reddit and YouTube, I see HVACR is very diverse and can lead to down many different roads. I myself, would like to be an all around great technician. I have another brother in law who does maintenance work, and works directly under a stationary engineer working on chillers..etc. Now I was thinking mechanical engineering, but I seen engineering technology is more practical and less theory. So right now I’m between looking at Engineering Technology and BAS degrees. Thoughts? I’m obviously not going to jump into in right away, especially not knowing what I like just yet, but do you think these are good ideas?
