So what do you get paid these days if you go to college when you leave
school?

There was a time when apprentices had to pay for the privilege of being an
apprentice and learning a useful skill.

When would this be and for which apprenticeship?
I was an indentured apprentice heating and ventilation engineer in 1966. I
was a slave and got paid peanuts.
