Learn technology to be an apprentice? Or go to school to learn?
I think we should go to school to learn technology. You must have a theoretical foundation before you practice (equivalent to an apprentice). Only by studying hard in these two processes can we learn real skills. In addition, there are no shortcuts for chefs, CNC or other technical activities. Only by relying on your own efforts and work accumulation can you become the best. Work hard and good luck!
