Hi Everyone, I am 24 and will be changing careers around March 2006. The oil refining company I work for now was bought and we are around until this time. I am real interested in getting into the Home Inspection field for a few reasons. I love seeing new homes, construction and the things that go into building homes. I also do not want a 9-5 office job, 2 years was enough for me. My father is also an appraiser, so he knows a lot in this field also. Are there any tips I can use to get started in this field? What type of experience will I need when I go in search of companies in the Richmond, VA area? Any books I should read? Right now I do not have any construction experience. Any information would be helpful and hopefully point me in the right direction. Thanks for your time and responses! Scott
