Sacramento,CA. How to become a GC with a college degree?

[withthistwohand]

Can any of you tell me how to go about getting a General Contractor license without the required 4 yrs of experience. I have done some ducting, tiling and painting before but it was just for a couple of months. Is self study possible or I have to shell out some big bucks for school. Your input is greatly appreciated.

Im not that familiar with the cali license, but I think self study is ok.
