Apprenticeships

Having spent some time growing up in Switzerland, I am very familiar with the apprenticeship system. For many years and many professions, it has made sense that the majority of people don't need to go to college. Instead, they go to a vocational school and do an apprenticeship. Even today, less than 20% of Swiss students go to university, compared with 65.9% of American students.

After high school, instead of the typical pre-college summer experience, I decided to go to rural Switzerland, take a break from the grind, and apprenticed at a bakery for a few months. It was an incredible experience. AND, it looks like the Kingston Family Vineyards have an experience that is a bit more structured, but also more free form. Something to keep in mind if anyone feels the need again to take a break and regain contact with the world :)

Would anyone consider doing this? Or does anyone know of any similar apprenticeships in other cool areas?
