The problem with an apprentice is they want full pay when they don’t know anything. They do something once or twice and then they think they have mastered something. Kids are the worst at this. No patience. And learning should continue at home. Read and learn everything you can. That is the last thing most of these guys want to do.

I'm not going to red x you because I agree partially, I at 43 am a machine shop apprentice. I am the head bench guy & learning other stuff. I realized that I hated what I was doing and make about half of what I made before. But I love what I am doing now & never ever assume I know more than I do.
My boss is very happy with me, since previously he had highschool kids try to do what I'm doing with bad results. It does have to do with my studying & desire to do it & I want to be the best at everything I do. So I agree, it's just not a blanket statement that apprentice want what they don't deserve.
