mate as an apprentice accept the fact that you will not earn great money for afew years it cant be helped but you will get a loverly bit of paper at the end that says your a trade it also says if your good set your own price
best bet is find yourself a company that will put you on as a private apprentice and that does varied work ( industrial, comersial,domestic and maintenance) they may not give you the best pay packet but will give you the experience you need to be a "in demand" tradesperson
all the best buddy
