Answers:    Contact your local building department (city or county) for the requirements.

Most expected you will only involve to pass a written try-out on the UBC and/or IBC building codes.
working for dad and yourself is a bit different than running a crew...wouldnt hurt to work for another general till you win the gist of things...will sound better when you budge to the bank to borrow adjectives the money you'll need for tools and equipment...
