From what I have seen from these sorts of queries over the years.
some seem to get into the business by being an unpaid, or very lowly paid helper, doing all the shit jobs for a season or two, for next to no pay. Not living in grand client style accommodation but the hot airless tin shack around the back. Eating small portions at meals, only drinking juice or water at dinner - have a look sometime, often the apprentice gets bad looks from the boss if they drink a soft drink. Showing work ethic, friendliness, perseverance, team work, etc as well as the other skills. There is no doubt some get taken advantage of, but some also work through their "apprenticeships" and end up fully qualified and employed doing what they want to.
Or you can end up on the other end of the globe freezing you asses off --- but at least we offer plenty of tuck, a healthy grog ration and all the scenery you can eat.
