How easy / hard to get Electrician Apprenticeship in Aotearoa rn? Do I need to get NCEA Level 3 or should I apply now (I'm 16) to 'get ahead'? Any advice appreciated...

Curious to hear from those working in the field, what’s the most important skill to have in trades or services work? Is it problem-solving? Time management? Communication with clients? Would love to know what’s actually helped you on the job (not just what people say in training).

I’ve been working in a few different trades since I left school and honest to god feel overworked in every job I’ve had, like working 50 or 60 hours a week including weekends sometimes. Is this just life as a tradie or am I just picking the wrong companies? What are my options for staying in the trades but working less hours?
