Not a fan of unpaid interns but most of them are making mid $20s an hour now, which is equally as nuts

I'm a fan of apprenticeships. For seven years, you are provided room and board and learn a trade from a master craftsman. After seven years, you go into business for yourself, make yourself a bundle, and apprentice others along the way. Best of all, no student loans to pay back! Sounds like a good bargain to me.

I believe that's how things were done in days of yore. Need to bring that system back - in a modernized fashion of course. Think about it, you could learn dentistry, become a lawyer, a master car mechanic, a master plumber, etc., with 7 years of working under a "master." Or a mentor if you'd rather that term.

Way better system than 4-6 years of college mush and spending the next twenty years or so paying back the student loans.
