Nah, relax — everything’s good.

It can wait. I’d rather wait longer than find out you got overwhelmed and quit.

I totally get you — I started my pre-apprenticeship a while ago, and I’m there from early morning till early evening. It’s crazy you still make story-based games tbh, I couldn’t. I’m always too tired after all the work, homework, housework, etc.

So you’re good, no stress 

What's a pre-apprenticeship? I am curious cuz I've never heard of it

The apprenticeship system is generally used in the construction trades (carpenter, plumber, electrician, etc). You go through an apprenticeship for a few years (combination of schooling and on-the-job training) until you qualify to be a journeyman. Pre-apprentice is a relatively newer rank (like, I didn't hear anything about it ten years ago, but now everyone's doing it), where you're not in the apprenticeship program yet but they still let you do some work at a lower wage, to get some experience.

Ohh damn, and how many years is the program for typically? And is the pre-apprenticeship some sort of internship?

It depends on where you are

It can last from 4 weeks to 2 years 

My program in Germany is about 1 year and most of those programs that are common are Metal &hood Workshops ,home economics,gardening and paint(and varnish) but other many more do exist too

And Yeah, it’s an internship. I go to one of those programs for about six weeks each, and then I switch to the next one, and then again. I have to go to at least three different workplaces. If you do well enough, you can either start your apprenticeship there or move on to another company.

Thank you saying this! It does feel stressful but at the end of the day, I know that this is not my job, as much as it can feel like it sometimes. I'm content with writing right now! 

I wish you all the luck on your pre-apprenticeship <3
