Comment on Do they still offer shadows to shadow their work and learn a trade you want to try? Or is that the old days? I thought it would be neat to be an Electrician.

  Well it sounds less spooky when you put it that way.

  The only time I’ve heard the term “shadow” was in a 1-2 day “apprenticeship”, but it was more of a showcase of the work. This was ~3 years ago

  I think there’s a difference - “shadowing” a person is a short-term thing (couple days to a week? Maybe more?) where you want to get a taste of the trade, vs. an “apprenticeship” where it’s treated more like a part-time job with responsibilities.
