    Hi, Karen,  I don't have the answers you're looking for, just a
    comment. One of my daughters "apprenticed" for me for a while, and
    though there is no doubt in my mind that this could work out in the
    long term, I invested a lot of time instructing her, and had her do
    pretty simple work for me, but, truthfully, little of what she did
    was of sufficient quality for me to actually use. With an official
    apprentice, I could be pushier and more demanding, of course. But
    the point is that the up-front investment in time and materials to
    get an apprentice up to speed is huge, so the arrangement would have
    to build in some way to make it mutually worth-while from the start.
    For whatever that's worth (every penny you paid for it!) 

--Noël
