As far as electricians are concerned, the hassle of training an apprentice is supposed to be offset by the fact that you get to keep most of the money they generate for those 2 years or so. My brother in law didn't want to stick with the guy who trained him cause he felt like he was taken advantage of, however he's also reluctant to take on an apprentice of his own because he knows how difficult it is to take someone under your wing. I think he's a bit more forgiving of his old boss now.
