  i have been doing electrical, building , plumbing, mechanical building inspections for &nbsp;big government for 23 years, and prior to that i was a building , electrical, mechanical , plumbing contractor for years &nbsp;back to the 1980&apos;s , the hardest part of the job is that you stand between your client and him or her getting paid on their approved inspections, and if not they do not get the money draw , this kid is correct there are plenty of builders that don&apos;t &nbsp;like following the rules of building and or do not have proper training to do it even thou they are licensed , there are many ,many contractors out in the field that are licensed but not qualified , because they pay a out fit in the local big city for a no pass no pay course that last a week and these outfits basically give you the answers to the building tests that are being giving out at the local testing agency like PSI etc <br>so again this is the hard part actually dealing with people that get into the business to make money but don&apos;t have the correct training for it at all , or they have never been in the actual field doing the work for more than two minutes , and fight you the building expert , so we have to be trainers also explaining to them the very basics like one oh one&apos;s

  Been a GC for 16 yrs, and involved in the bld trades for over 30 yrs now. Applied for a few positions in Florida last Spring because I needed a change., I just vacationed in Florida where one of my interviews was scheduled and just signed a Conditional contract of employment with the St Petersburg area Building Inspections while I was here. Will be moving from Virginia next month to start my new career. Thanks for your video of encouragement. I can&apos;t wait!

  Thank you for these videos. &nbsp;Been a sparky for 20 years and have been thinking about what is next for the past couple years. &nbsp;After getting an injury to knee at work at end of last year I only recently &nbsp;decided to start looking into making this change. &nbsp;I am in California and I am a little unsure if I should go after B1, B2 or J1, I1 first. &nbsp;Thanks for the videos you have been doing in this series even if &nbsp; I am just now finding it 10 months later.

  I’m glad you mentioned the whole being in the car for long periods of time. Can you provide more of a discussion around that? Truckers driving long distance have a more extreme situation of being in a stationary seated position and then really having limited food options (mostly unhealthy fast food).
