Geoff,
Not any more apprenticeship as it has died years ago. The scenario has changed and no one wants an apprenticeship for they are better qualified now and can afford to choose the employer.
I think everyone needs to balance between life and money though money is important but life ( I mean health) is even more important that anything.
Our younger generation here (those who just started working) had a tendency to move from one place to another (you may say short-term goal and getting rich). These are yuppies trying to earn an extra dollar to pay up to the bank for their car, house, etc. What a sad thing for they are always chasing for their dreams.
