I doubt Community College will teach you anything you will ever use to make money in this business.If it did, the teachers would all be driving Rolls Royce's and living in multi-million dollar mansions--they are not.If you want to learn about SFH's (the bones and the guts of them) vs being a hammer swinger putting up framing (which you don't need to go to college to do)...study to be a home inspector at someplace like the InterNachi... https://www.nachi.org/become-home-inspector.htmOnce you earn the badges you will know your stuff about SFH inspections.But still that's a big commitment and it's not needed to make money in this business...you can hire Home Inspectors, just like you can hire tax pros, bookkeeping, and etc...If you want to learn how to "put in cabinets", "replace a toilet", "shingle a roof", add a dormer, etc...you can learn on YouTube fast and easy.If you want to learn how to frame, get a job 9 to 5 with a framing contractor, and get ready to WORK HARD.Here is a 582 page picture book of how to build a house: https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Visual-Guide-Building-House/dp/1600850227Sit down next to a Keurig Machine with a book like this and your favorite mug and learn at your own pace.
