Donnie,

I would be very careful about entering the auditor field. It costs to get trained ($1200 - $1800 for BPI) and to buy the equipment ($1800 duct blaster) that Austin Energy requires. There are a number of guys doing Austin energy audits and I would venture a guess that many are not making much money doing it.

Well ya know, thats what I kinda figured, but always thought about it.
