I believe there are several different career paths for a being a building inspector.
1) you could work for a municipality (like a City or town).
2) you could work for some national or federal agencies (like OSHA).
3) you could work independently - self-employed have your own building inspector business (there are numerous independent residential building inspectors).
I believe the lifestyle or work hours could very greatly. If you were working for a City or a town or government agency, most likely those positions would be full-time a
nd would likely initially require a related college degree to initially get started as an inspector. I'm sure that there would be training involved as well. However, independent inspectors can take training classes - offered on line or in person - where the person would then receive a degree or accreditation or some sort to become a licensed inspector. Being independent could mean you could work part-time.
