“Apprenticing” is shit. Work with a crew starting out, but also spend time with trade magazines, browsing supply stores, make friends with supply personnel. Learn the trade without relying on experience to do it.
Practical experience go a long way though, there’s some things you just don’t learn unless you’re exposed to it.
That being said, the fact that the people who are seemingly obligated to teach these kinds of things don’t want to bother with that
I LOVE teaching it, but sometimes it’s hard to teach. There is a certain amount of basic physics that a person needs to be able to grasp, and some just do NOT get it. It’s also hard to know every situation that you might encounter…I am in an area that only adopted the international building code in 2012 and the situations I encounter here are just wack. (which of course ehould not be an issue in other more civilized areas)
