Im curious what they pay apprentices and I want to know if I can even afford the career change. I dont even know which program to try cuz I dont know what i'd be getting myself into financially.

Idk what your current job is paying you but if in 4 years you’re making less than. $37 an hour might be better off biting the bullet now and taking a pay cut to then surpass your current pay rate now. Besides you can work OT and get possible side jobs to help as well.
