is it worth getting into growing?

TheSixKid said:

I was recently offered a job to apprentice under a grower with 30+ years under his belt. I have a huge passion for the business and growing, i guess my main question is it a rewarding career? how much time will i spend in the grow vs free time? i have grown single plants but never dipped my toes this deep at all, just looking for advice or even stories about how you started and how long it took to become comfortable enough to care for several hundred plants? thanks for reading and responding.

Breaking Really Bad

To the OP I’d say before you commit to anything work out the terms of your apprenticeship so that you know exactly what will be expected of you and how you’ll be compensated. With that info you can then decide if this is something you want to pursue.

I’d be extremely leery of any arraignment that doesn’t pay you regularly for your time. I’m not saying you should turn down the option of receiving a portion of the profit from the harvest, but if you are only working for the possibility of a big payoff in the end that exposes you to being screwed over if the people you are working for are shady.
