Thinking about getting into Electrical Contracting ; possible home inspection in the future.

Background : Physics Major
Aerospace and Electrical Engineering
Network Engineering Certifications

Why? :
Tired of working for someone else
Lack of positions open
Future endeavors

What certifications should I obtain? I have NEC 2002 in front of me and a couple people familiar with NFPA stuff and Security Alarm Systems.

Want to start own business. Have much hands on engineering, and a bit electrical. Am I barking up the right tree? Can anyone point me to some pros and cons.

Tired of working with geeks. Thanks.
