I worked alongside professionals as a "helper" With pretty much no construction experience, they put me on the dirty grunt work, cleaning rat poop, removing the old toilets, scrubbing down baseboards, etc. but as I was doing that, I was watching every single thing they did, and pestered them with tons of questions on how to do things and different techniques.

@Alex Popescu, It really depends on your experience level, your toolbox and how many helpers you will employ.

It is the classic I will be there on Tuesday to begin sheet rocking your project followed by me receiving a text informing me my helpers want to attend a Halloween party so I cannot make it Tuesday but will be there 1st thing Wednesday morning. 

Once they get old enough they could go with us as a helper, but without employees, inventory, management, etc there isn't much to learn that has a broad business use.

Even if the owner has it together, they most likely need helpers.

At what point have those of you who grew beyond being able to do it all yourself bring on the following helpers, part-time or full-time?

I am a welder helper working on trying to acquire some income properties so I'm not working when I get old.

If this assistance helps this friend buy a house he's lived in since cleaning his life up 7 years ago, I'm going to get a picture of him, his awesome shop helper elementary aged son, and some cars on 30" rims with thumping sound systems he built to pull it off to post in this thread.

My workforce will likely be yours truly plus one hired helper.
