# Hardly a TJ
Does anyone know a company that will do a graphic design 'apprentiship'?

As in receiving wages as you progress and ultimately being part of the company.

Or any help around the subject would be useful.

Thats prob your best bet, look for graphic design comps and send out some emails

# Yeah i'm trying desperately.
I've spent all of tonight writing a CV and sending it out to as many companies i could think of, basically for a trade apprentiship.
But I would like to pursue graphic design/illustration, the only thing stopping me is that if i did, i'd have to go to college and live
on £30 a week EMA, which is hardly enough to run my ped with let alone live on.

# The 'receiving a wage' as you learn is the unrealistic bit, I'm afraid; life simply doesn't happen like that
unless you sign up to some government placement where you'll be on a very low wage for a while whilst you are trained up

Who's going to employ a novice on a salary?

Volunteer for a while if you consider yourself hot enough, and learn all you can; then apply for a proper job as a pro

# The NHS.
/well paid training position blog
Although admittedly, I expect more people want to be graphic designers than Scientists.

...around your local Univeristies. They're always looking for Photoshop Monkeys (they call them 'Graphic Technicians')
