Apprentice Level

[Hube]

good one Lazy Pup.
by the way was this your Cousins last trip on the boat, Did he finally "get off" ?

[Java_Bob]

Pushkins,

It could be much worse;

I had a cousin who shipped out as a deck crew member on a commercial fishing boat.

He wrote and told us the for the first three voyages he was classified as an apprentice baiter

from 4 to 6 voyages he was a journeyman-baiter but on his last trip out the Capt designated him as a "Master-baiter"

Labels....

Well, as you so aptly put it, Hube, it's STILL captain! Not like my feelings are hurt or anything.....

[mrcaptainbob]

Hey, Troy. Being an "apprentice" makes me feel young(lol) again. So even if I get to the 500 or 1000 level you can still lable me as an apprentice. I don't mind.

[Troy]

I am open to suggestions, I'd love to revise this. Any ideas?

[pushkins]

Ummmm.......If I admit to the latter, do I get demoted to Trade assistant ?

I was referring to our label, your at 400 and something and your still an apprentice.

[Hube]

are you referring to a building trade apprenticeship???
and is this apprenticeship backed by the State?
I don't know about the area you are in, but in most provinces of Canada an apprentice in bldg trades has 4 to 5 years to finally become a "journeyman". Each year of an apprenticeship consists of a certain number of hours working in the trade (approx 1800 hours per year).A total of 7200-9000 hours is needed depending on the trade.
Several weeks at a trade school are also required 2 or 3 times within the 4-5 year time frame. Upon satisfactory completion of this 4-5 year learning period the individual will then be given a "`Certificate of Qualification`` in that field.
Ps
I hope you are not referring to us being an ``apprentice`` as we are both being labelled (lol) on this home repair site.

When do break out from being an apprentice .....(again ) ?

for that matter.....what are the levels anyway ?
