I was thinking I'll definitely work there for another week to make up my mind and if I decide I don't want to work there, I do know some other apprentices at my college who have switched employer so I may be able to do that.

It did occur to me earlier I might like IT and just not like this current place I'm working at. Multiple times in my meeting with the HR person, they kept saying "you're not at college or school anymore, you're working" which yeah that's fair enough but they act as if I'm a proper employee?

They said the last apprentice they brought on was just as good as the staff they already had there and they seemed surprised I wasn't. Do you think they were just trying to get a well trained employee with the wage of an apprenticeship? Seems like they were trying to exploit the system to me really.

I've spoken to my Tutor at college and I'm looking into alternatives to this current place so hopefully something does pop up
