I only have a small 1 room apartment and thats barely enough for me alone. And second: I whould be probably a horrible dog owner because i'm INCREDIBLE weak to cuteness and puppy eyes and whould forgive anything with a "Aww, youre just so cute i cant be mad at you..." even when the dog just turned my whole living room upside down and thats not good because you need a certain strength to raise a dog just like a child and teach him/her good and bad. And thats something i just cant even if i try. So i better dont have a dog, its just the best for the dog. There are just too many dogs at the shelters where the previous owners overestimated their skills or weren't able to manage/train the dog like they should. And i surely dont want to "produce" another homeless dog.

I never had a formal apprenticeship for any of the things I worked at. I worked with people who knew what they were doing, watched, tried not to ask stupid questions while I learned the basics and the flow of it. So watching is how I've always learned. and while I don't plan on doing excavation or heavy equipment mechanics, I do enjoy absorbing processes. You do a good job "bringing us with you when you go do the next thing".
