- chongli 7y agoThis is an amazing story. I don’t think it’s what the author of the article had in mind though. It sounds like the original argument for apprenticeships is supposed to be a large scale thing, for potentially all students. I can’t see that working for the vast majority of stem students, only the very rare gifted ones.
