Ask my grandma in Seattle

Autumn W., my greatgrandaughter lives near Houston Texas and
is known to tell her grandmother (my daughter) ask my grandma in
Seattle… so when I received that photo of her I thought
it would be a suitable branding for this page where I’m inviting
you, my readers, to ask your questions…

How would you like to have a video phone with a 7″screen you can connect to your computer and talk with friends and family anywhere in the world?

It sounds great to me…

Might be a big business opportunity for anyone who wants to get  involved on the ground floor!

When I started using the term apprentice-marketer a few years ago I wasn’t thinking of  Donald Trump’s television program THE APPRENTICE which I rarely watched, but I was thinking  of myself as an apprentice-marketer because I was becoming very interested in Internet Marketing and gobbling up a lot of information…

The term “apprentice” is associated in my mind with the apprenticeships offered by some Labor Unions and today I did a search in Wikipedia using the term “apprenticeship” and I found the following:

Example of US apprentice programs.
Persons interested in learning to become electricians can join one of several apprenticeship programs offered jointly by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and the National Electrical Contractors Association. No background in electrical work is required.

A minimum age of 18 is required. There is no maximum age. Men and women are equally invited to participate. The organization in charge of the program is called the National Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee [5].

Apprentice electricians work 37 to 40 hours per week at the trade under the supervision of a journeyman electrician and receive pay and benefits. They spend an additional 6 hours per week in classroom training.

At the conclusion of training (five years for commercial and industrial construction, less for residential construction), apprentices become journeymen (generic term for men and women).

All of this is offered at no charge, except for the cost of books (which is approximately $200 per year).

Persons completing this program are considered highly skilled by employers and command high pay and benefits.

Other unions such as the Ironworkers, Sheet Metal Workers, Plasterers, Bricklayers and others offer similar programs. Trade associations such as the Independent Electrical Contractors and Associated Builders and Contractors also offer a variety of apprentice training programs.
 
I have not verified this  information.

Wikipedia also presents interesting information about the history of apprenticeships notably in the United Kingdom dating back to around the 12th century…
