[QUOTE="Tazmaniandevil, post: 40118, member: 2535"] Hi mate. I have been away from the tools for some years now so have no idea what apprentices are paid these days. I will pass on one of the pearls passed to me whilst serving my time. Yes you can do night school and learn all the theory side of things - get your C&G etc. Then you need to go out there and get a job. First thing most employers will going to ask is..... "What kind of work have you done?" I will be brutally honest here, if I was still contracting, I wouldn't employ anyone with paperwork and no actual proven skills. What I did do at one point though was started a bloke who was in his 20's as a mate. (do they still have mates nowadays?) Fella worked all day, and did night school to get his C&G. Walked it in the end, and one of the best guys I have ever seen installing steel conduit. That is maybe an alternative route for you to look at. Either way, good luck in your career change. [/QUOTE]
