Very valuable information here for anyone thinking of starting out in this trade. I can relate to everything you said, 100% accurate. This trade isn’t for everyone, but for some it’s a blessing. All the hard work and dedication WILL pay off at the end.

I will say a lot of your tips for apprenticing hit home for myself as well in construction. If i have an apprentice who shows a drive to learn i give back so much more knowledge than a guy who just wanders off during the day.
