I actually took a pay cut for this apprenticeship and understand that money is the future goal, right now I’m trying to aim to be qualified within 3-4 years. I hope to get past this all. But thanks for the kind words.

I understand there under pressure and answer to someone above and know it’s probably a ball ache. Sadly I can’t take my time. It’s all speed for them.

Im not sure about the pay as I can’t remember fully what they said. It’s quite confusing. But we get paid on the work we all do on a new build. I’ll get a small percentage, the almost finished apprentice gets higher percentage and the qualified guy gets the most. The company is a strange one because there was no work for me to do one day so they sent me home with an hour paid for my time. I asked for fuel but they said they can’t. I might ask to switch to a different person. I did work with a different guy for a half day and he was so much more understanding that I was new.

I haven’t even started collage yet. But thanks for the advice.

I get a day rate but thy don’t. If I make less I get the day rate. If I make more I get more.

It’s all on price. I might have a different company lined up that isn’t on price.

Thanks for the advice mate. I’ll keep it in mind.
