So, Chris, I got a younger brother who's looking to get into the trade. Electrical, specifically speaking. How does someone even get into this? Yeah, so there's a couple ways you can do it. The first thing is I would recommend to go to a trade school. And anyone can apply. From there, you do about 1 to 2 years. Okay. And then after there's companies that actually go to the trade school and they pick you right for work. Okay. Mhm. All right, that's pretty cool. Yeah. So, right after, let's just say you do get picked from one of these companies, what does the journey look like after that? Pretty much you're an apprentice for 4 years. In order to become a journeyman, you need a 4-year apprenticeship, technically. Okay. So, the company will pick you up, you get your on-field training, and then you get your journeyman license. Okay. Yeah. Your brother's interested becoming an electrician? Potentially, yeah. I think that's what he's leaning towards. Nice. Yeah, it's a it's a great trade. And right now with the demand with these Tesla chargers, Yeah. everyone's going EV in the next probably decade. So, I think it's a very lucrative right now. There's not many Gen Z tradesmen right now doing this type of work. >> Agreed. So, um I think that's a great path for him. Awesome. Mhm.
