So, is there anybody on this site that has ACTUALLY signed up for his apprenticeship?

=======There is no school that teaches this that I know of--contracting is ("Skilled" Manual Labor) for a profit.Some trades have apprenticeships, but that can take years of hard labor, in the hot sun, or in the cold snow.I'm not saying you can't do it, I'm saying to get experience in so many trades will take until you retire.If you want to be a GC you need to know how to bid and how to supervise subs (meaning getting the quality work done that you expect them to do).The reason I gave you some questions to ask yourself is contractors I've met seem to have (an interest) in this type of stuff that goes beyond just working with it, like Nascar Fan has interest in all of the Nascar details. the engine, the pistons the drivers weight, new go fast gadgets and etc...But if it's what you want to do--I say go for it--but go for it with your eyes open.Here is a video about pneumatic framing nail guns (they weigh about 8 lbs loaded + a bulky long rubber air hose)Is this something you would want to hold 8 hours a day?

says does not matter what your selling IE wholeselling or selling real estate there is an apprenticeship .its helps in real estate to have a large warm market IE family friends.. 

. $40-$65/hr with benefits after an apprenticeship.

I think the problem with apprenticeships and mentorships is they sorta need to happen.

Married, no kids at the moment, and husband is also working after recently finishing an apprenticeship.

I am pretty much in an apprenticeship program right now so once I am done and get a full time job my salary will increase significantly but that won't be for another year (2016) and I am looking to get a rental property by the end of the year.

Will be making my first purchase in 2024 when we relocate to Arizona after my wife finishes her apprenticeship as a tattoo artist.

Get a carpentry apprenticeship asap!

I thought about home inspector,  electrician, or plumber but currently have no technical skill with any of those plus 4 year apprenticeship may be a bit much.
