Yeah, so the way that people pay for these types of programs varies pretty, pretty widely.
And I think it starts from, you know, some of these programs can be employer paid.
So there are if you if you work somewhere and you're interested in this skill, certainly good
offers some sort of stipend or some sort of training program in-house.
But we also see a lot of people paying for these either with money that they've saved up, putting them on a credit card, or paying with some sort of financing instrument like a loan.

have made the decision to switch careers.
And one of the things that we learn is often the way that people stumble on the thing that ends up making them happy and getting them the kind of career they want is thinking about what they ultimately sort of what makes them happy.
