All right, here's the three biggest mistakes you can make as a new electrician. And I've been an electrician for 5 years, so listen up. Number one is cutting the wire short in a box, guys. Do not cut your wire short. I'm telling you right now. And leave your wires long because it might cost your company an expensive repull. One time, guys, I cut a wire short in a panel, and my boss, who was my dad, almost ripped me a new [ __ ] >> to smack you when I saw you do that. >> Cuz we had to almost we couldn't almost terminate it. So, just don't do it, guys. Number two is showing up late to a job. And this applies to everybody regardless of being electrician. Nobody wins showing up late, guys. You get an upset customer, [music] a boss, a project delay. Don't be late. And as a service electrician, it can be tough sometimes, but just update your customer with our updated ETA, and it's better than being [music] late. Lastly, number three, guys, do not fall through the [ __ ] ceiling, man. Not being safe and aware is a big mistake. If you're walking in an attic or somewhere delicate, make sure you're walking on the joist or the support beams. [music] Last thing you want is somebody falling through into the living room and breaking the drywall. So, just be safe, guys. And those are the three [music] biggest mistakes you can make as a new electrician. Let me know what you guys think if I missed or should add anything.
