I’m passionate about becoming a butcher and am trying to map out the best path for an apprenticeship. I’ve seen the certifications offered by the American Meat Science Association and some university programs—do these hold significant weight when you're just starting out?

I’d love to hear your 'origin stories.' What’s the best way to approach a shop for an apprenticeship, and what skills or certifications should I prioritize to show I’m serious about the trade?
