Potentially new

I am a red seal carpenter in B.C and I am wanting to leave the trade to enter the home inspection field. Hopefully I can get some answers to some most likely stupid questions.

Firstly would be wage. I would honestly figure that I would need to bust tail the first 3-5 years to establish myself and would not worry about working 6-7 days a
week. Would it be hard to achieve this in the current market under a company like pillar2post? No idea how much of the inspection rate the inspector actually keeps either. See its about $63K average which I hope is after taxes.

Are things looking up for the future or is this field boom and bust?
Feel like the Asian money is forgoing the inspection all together and wonder how this effects the market.

Would like to go on a ride a long this summer to see if the trade suits me or not. Are there companies you would recommend for some one pre schooling?

If there is a newbie page please point me in the right direction.
Will read through the pages in the following weeks.

Any tips would be appreciated.
