I'll address the building inspector idea. Here in CA, we are governed by the International Congress of Building Officials (ICBO) which is pretty much the whole game west of the Mississippi. They offer certification which involves study and testing just like a contractor's license. One must have this certification in order to apply/get/keep a BI job. Currently, I don't have anything along those lines. But, what's more, why would a city hire a 63 YO man that they want out of the system by age 65? The have to keep the bottom line on the ins policies and a bunch of old farts won't help.
I'll add that washing dishes might have more appeal that continuing in the construction field. I've had it. Furthermore, construction is way down, there is a hiring freeze all over and the state/county/city is broke. No jobs.
I'll need a better plan than to become another economy sucking government employee even if it was possible. You see, that's why this ain't easy. If it weren't a severe problem, I'd just go get a job.
Maybe the rest of the country isn't seeing the depth of the depression as I do. LB is probably looking at 10% unemployment right now.

Just curious, are looking for a job, like most of us, because we need to work, or because you just want something to occupy your team.
You have always come across to me as someone who is quite comfortable and works as needed.. ;-) (no harm intended)...

Funny that you say that. I've had many folks assume that I am wealthy upon meeting me. They wonder why I have to work. I'm no sure why that is.
