For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Apprenticeships do still exist. In fact there is a severe shortage of school leavers wanting to become a skilled tradesman. When people leave school they are encouraged to go to university because this is how you will get a good job and earn lots of money. Now there are many graduates working in jobs which they are over qualified for and a major shortage of good plumbers, joiners, electricians, etc. If you are young enough kahunabean, I would recomend starting an apprenticeship in your desired trade as the construction Industry can be rewarding.
P.S. By the end of 2003 every operative working on any major construction site in the UK will have to possess a passport style identity card which states what qualifications you have and the relevant skills. This is designed to stop the "cowboys".
