Trades apprenticeship applications open in Oklahoma City

The training centre near Oklahoma City opened applications for apprenticeships in electrical and welding trades. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. Classes are in the evening and work is during the day. What do you wish you had known?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 4 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
