I had a friend’s son apprentice for me a few years back, he was a Comp Sci student just completed 3rd year. He spent a day a week over the summer break with me, I maybe gave him 8-10 hours of actual instruction, plus a dab of real-world experience in the form of an old client website that needed some sprucing up.
By the time we were done, he told me he learned more in a dozen Fridays of looking over my shoulder than he did in those three years and the ~$60k he’d paid for it.
