Run-do-not-walk back to the repair shop. Tell them what is going on and demand (nicely at first at least) they fix it.
IF you fool around and touch anything or do anything they can and will say as they shrug their shoulders, "You must have done something, car was fine when it left."
I'd suspect an 'O' ring got split and or something else let all your refrigerant escape.

It wasn't a shop...it was just a guy that taught ac repair school. Thought he might know a thing or two.

If you're not able to do any of this investigation and work yourself, then you likely should consider taking it to reputable automotive A/C repair shop.

There is some testing that you can do pretty simply yourself if you have that inclination but, it'd require you to procure some specialty tools (manifold gauge set, primarily) and spend a little time.

My first reaction to a "no compressor operation" symptom is to say that the refrigerant charge is inadequate. But, to confirm, system pressures need to be monitored.

Also, how was the "Freon replaced" ... with an A/C recovery/recycling/recharge unit or with cans? Was dye also included in the recharge? Has any leak detection been done?

So many questions to be answered ...

Oh.
Damn.
You're boned. Time to take it to a QUALIFIED a/c shop.

Sounds like it was not properly evacuated and recharged.. If the compressor wont engage the coil... The high side is either too high or to low. DId you see the guy use a recovery machine, or just replace the compressor and use some cans from a Auto parts store to recharge the system?

Oh just read it was a "teacher" at a ac repair shop... Like the old saying goes.. Those who can't do, Teach..lol
