Apprentices, or they were nicknamed Ragpickers, were the ones who gathered cotton and rags for their masters. They would roll them up, beat them hard so as to make a pulp, then send it down the line. Most of the work was done by hand.

Most apprentices did the dirty work, like taking care of animals, delivering packages, gathering food, cleaning the house and workshop, and preparing dinner before they became more experienced in their trade. After a few years, they would just focus on their trade.

The morning starts with you doing the morning chores like starting the fire, or sweeping up last night's mess. You eat a quick, simple breakfast then you report to your master for work.
Some would work almost all the day, or running errands. Most masters kept their apprentices busy, and there was little time for recreation.
The night would include dinner, maybe some scripture study, or reading, a little cleaning, then it's off to bed!

Do you like school? Well if you don't, then a colonial apprenticeship is for you! A regular apprentice only worked their trade, maybe after learning the basics like math, reading, and writing. Only if their master was rich could they have a tutor, or learn greater in depth about the subjects of the world.

An apprentice is a learner, a novice, that has been
taken upon by a craftsman to learn his same trade.
They recieve specialized training to prepare them
for when they become an adult and continue on in the trade they learned.
Traditionally, in colonial times, the teacher would provide daily homestead and food for his apprentice.
Even if apprentices worked almost all day, most were still kids and they took every chance they could for fun. A game called Rounders, which is like baseball would be played competitively, chess and checkers were always an inside favorite, and marbles were all played for fun. Though, on some's leisure, they would try to learn a different skill such as baking, sewing, or they could just read.

In colonial times, a papermaker had a busy life. Everybody needed it! Paper was made out of linen and rags instead of trees, like today, and the cloth was beaten to a pulp. The pulp was washed, strained, dried, and polished to become BEAUTIFUL paper.
Paper is made very different today. For one, it's made from trees and has weird chemicals mixed in to make it nice and smooth. The paper becomes perfect before it leaves the mill. It still becomes pulp and is dried, and polished, but it's all machines now.
