Apprenticeship is hard, there is a reason people don't accept just any apprentice, if it was easy people wouldn't be so picky who they want to teach.

Well, they're now only offered through unions, too. I suspect there's a great demand for such opportunities.
No it's not; this is the point of apprenticeship. It's just not compatible with the educational institutions people actually pay for.

This is not contradictory. If your idea of teaching is just lecturing at people and occasionally verifying specific knowledge, obviously they're not going to learn very much. Your job as a teacher is to facilitate a growth curve of increasingly more difficult and unwieldy problems to solve.
