Plumbing apprentices are paid around $12 1st year.
And 4th year around $30 if they’re lucky.
The pay off is after they finish their time.
I agree it’s not much of an incentive when their mates can earn more being labourers but if they finish their time things soon turn around. It takes time to learn the trade, hence the low pay during the apprenticeship phase. The retention rate is crap because of any combination of factors
1 Crap employers
2 It’s harder than they thought
3 Money issues
4 Other opportunities seem more attractive
