Also, if there's a high demand for labour in a sector but nobody is taking those jobs whatever the wages are is not enough regardless of how high they are.
Well, either that or the job sector has a major image issue that needs addressing, which is true enough of blue collar work.
Then again, the apprentice system does have 1 major issue that a schooling system does not. Throughput of pupils is notably lower per teacher regardless of how long it takes to teach the job. This means that if the job market is sufficiently irregular you are always going to have to deal with a teaching system that can't cope. Either because there's not enough jobs so the apprentices get laid off, or there's too many jobs and apprentices can't get taught quick enough, only to find no jobs when their apprenticeship is done.
