>> Anyone coming out of an engineering
or architectural field would certainly have a leg up I think knowledge wise.
But anybody coming out of the trades also can do a good job.
A carpenter who knows how houses are built has a leg up with the structure.
A heating contractor or an electrician that those parts are a breeze for them.
Anybody who gets into this has to be able to learn the stuff they don't know and nobody comes
into this knowing everything they need to know.
What it really takes is someone who is interested, who is willing to learn and to keep
on learning because things keep changing and you got to you got to be able to deal with people.
Dealing with people is just as important as dealing the house.
The house you can learn how to be a home inspector pretty easily but dealing
with people is not something everybody can do.
And that's a lot of people a lot of home inspectors don't appreciate that.
You've also got to be able to communicate if you can't communicate well,
that's something you need to learn.
You need to learn how to write well and speak well.
And those are sometimes are harder than learning how an electrical system works.
How does a heating plant work?
That is not as hard sometimes as learning how to deal with conflict.
To deal with people who are abrasive and difficult and how to write something clearly
about something that's complex so that people can understand you.
