Carpentry
But seriously robbo I have had plenty of experience with apprentices and times have changed. IMO if a lad is going to do an apprenticeship they should be in their first year at 14-15 yrs old. They go to school far too long these days (if they are going to do an apprenticeship). Nothing against school, but all you need for most trades is a bit of common sense and read and write and basic maths. It's too hard to teach them when they are older as they 'know everything ' and they dropout as apprenticeship wages weren't designed for twenty yr olds. When I was 19 I was a tradesman, married and had immigrated to another country. Can't see too many 19 yr olds doing that these days.
