At what point does he end up something like a master electrician or whatever it's called? >> Yes. So, you first need to go through the 4-year apprenticeship and then get your journeyman's license. Okay. Once you're a journeyman, then you need to apply for the master electrician test. >> Okay. And from there, you can start your own business. You also need to get your own business permit, and that's when you can do your own work on any residential home, commercial, or industrial. Okay. Running your own business is a completely different animal, though. Yeah. So, a lot of people they get confused. They're like, "Oh, being an electrician is one thing, but being an electrical contractor is another thing." It's another thing. Yes. So, some tradesmen don't really know how to run a business. >> Yeah. And some tradesmen are just workers. So, it's really about what type of person you are. Okay. Mhm. That makes sense. Is he an entrepreneur type, do you think, or do you think he's just going to your brother just wants to do the trade? Probably just the trade at first. At first. >> Maybe a business down the road, but take one step at a time. >> One step at a time, that's great. All right. All right, Humon, it's a pleasure. Chris, appreciate it.
