It’s quite important to be an apprentice of someone who is in your field; if not near the field you want to break into. But no matter how little your pay is (if you’re lucky enough to have one) or how toxic your sched is, the thing is these apprenticeships from the most “up there” companies don’t come easily.

In other words, you’ll be sucked dry by the end of the month.

This is why a lot of artisans nowadays choose to go under people who are their “friends” so that they will get the better treatment. But I don’t think this is right, as blood and sweat really shapes up a person, I think.

If you are an aspiring artist and you are just starting out you career, would you ever go and be an apprentice for someone you actually know?
