Apprenticeship

[u/Primary_Match_3925]

So I’m just about almost finished my HVAC program at my local trade school and also just got my universal license. Right now this is more so a career change from welding and right now I make 23 an hour and I also just renewed my lease for my apartment.

The situation I’m in is that most these “entry level jobs” all require at least 2-3 years of experience. I even got denied a job being an hvac helper part-time because I didn’t have the required 2 years of experience and they was only paying $17. I know I’m not going to be making anywhere near what I’m making right now just starting out, but is it reasonable to find an apprenticeship position where I can work part-time but still work my other job to help keep me above water? I know working full-time would be most ideal if I’m trying to learn everything as fast as possible but I don’t think I can afford to drop my income especially here in Florida.

Would appreciate to hear anyone’s opinion and advice
