Dear Holly,

    In the UK, we have a long relationship with apprenticeships. I don't
    know how they work in the US. When I was young (back in the dim and
    distant 1960's and 70's), apprenticeships were very common, then
    they went out of fashion. Recently, however, after lots of various
    government promoted schemes, apprenticeships are back in vogue. They
    have always been and are today are very good way to learn as you are
    learning on the job, ie. whilst you are being paid. 

    If you have the opportunity to experience a genuine apprenticeship,
    I would say go for it, as long as you are both happy with the
    contract of such employment. Basically, it is a symbiotic sort of
    relationship, ie. both parties benefit. You get the benefit of
    knowledge and experience and your employer/teacher gets the benefit
    of an extra pair of hands in his shop. 

    Good luck.
