It's hard to get an apprenticeship to become one in Australia after your mid twenties. I've heard it's because your pay has to be a fair bit higher than the kids just out of school, so they'd rather train a teenager.

Apprenticeships are damn near impossible to find in the US, period. Usually people go to trade schools.

That’s interesting! Yes, in the USA, I guess it’s early twenties to start an apprenticeship program.
