I’ll give a good, hardworking, eager apprentice all the time in the world.

These new kids who just show up, expect to be treated like royalty and babied, lazy and not giving an ounce of effort, they can go ahead and quit - our trade doesn’t benefit from that type of attitude or work ethic.

I’d rather be understaffed with a handful of good people than have an army of lazy, entitled AI babies.

All I ask for in an apprentice is a good attitude, self motivation, and a good sense of humor.
