Say you earn $15 an hour for four years. That’s about $120,000 in total wages (assuming full-time hours). Meanwhile, your college friend might spend $120,000 on tuition. Who made the smarter choice? You did.
And at the end? You’ve got a certificate, years of experience, and zero debt. Your friend? They’ve got a degree and a payment plan. Both can lead to success, but your path is paid upfront.
So, do you get paid for apprenticeships? Yes. It’s not a trick. It’s not a loophole. It’s a job. A job that trains you, pays you, and sets you up for a career. Now go find one—and don’t take less than you’re worth.
