Question

Maureen wants to be a plumber. Her father is a plumber, and she has always
helped him on his jobs. She seems to have a natural ability for plumbing, but she
knows she will also need formal training. After graduation she will start to work
part time in the family business. She will also begin an apprenticeship program
and attend classes one day a week at a trade school. This means she will be able
to earn wages while learning a trade.
