should you have to pay for a aprentaceship or should it be payed for by hard work and kindness?

I'm glad I payed for my apprenticeship...kinda like going to school.like an ojt thing...wouldn't have done it any other way...plus I worked a full time job...I feel it's too easy to get into the arts anymore...it used to be a secrete society...now everyone and there brother or sister is going to tattoo kits .com and making a mockery of tradition...pay your dues..just the way I feel..only one opinion...I don't mean to hurt feelings..I just had to do it the right way..think everyone should.....and I do ink for free a lot more often than the wife feels I should..but i don't want to get a real job...lol..peace!

I never paid for my Apprenticeship but I also didnt get paid during it. Wich I believe is fair, I was however, tipped out for set-ups and tear-downs during.

no one should pay actual money for an apprenticeship. I don't care who the artist is. if the artist thinks you got what it takes? then he shouldn't charge. I feel artist charge people that just don't got it.
