Awesome post MB. That was exactly the kind of response I was interested in. Thanks. So it sounds like it is gonna be a bit of a bitch to get an apprenticeship after the program. I know I'm gonna have to swallow my pride a bit and take a big pay cut for the time being, but minimum wage is crazy. I don't think I could cope with that at my age. I still have cooking to always fall back on, so if there is an amount of time I'd have to wait to find the right job I'm not gonna starve. But after going to school for other things, and not ending up in the field right away, I know very well you can lose knowledge if you don't exercise your abilities. Keep me posted on your path man. I'm interested.
