Hello Forum "Newbies"!
I've started my apprenticeship/trainee full time. I know it's still new, but I really enjoy it. The hours are to be expected and Saturday inspections are OK with me. It allows me time to get the work done Monday-Friday.
It's extremely detailed oriented and I get a kick out of being able to prove my opinion. I've already had some tuff Appraisals to work on. (1 bedroom ranch, on slab, in the middle of "tim-buck-to", on 3 acres) My trainer wanted me to get through some difficult ones as best as I could, so I could learn to appreciate the simpler ones. Plus it's good training!
I'm only 2 months into it and I'm on a pace of about 4 Appraisals per week. Some of the more difficult ones take alot longer, but with assistance, I've managed to get them done.
I've made many mistakes and will probably continue to do so, until I'm "up to speed", but I've learned alot from those mistakes.
I'm enjoying it and I plan to work towards becoming Certified in a couple of years.
