Question about apprenticeship

I am really looking into getting into the field of tattooing. However i currently have a job that demands some pretty crazy forever changing shifts out of me weekly. I would just straight up give up my job if I didn't have bills and debts to pay off but I do. Tattooing has always been an interest of mine and i have done nothing but study fine arts for a good portion of my teenage and into adult years. My question really is here. I know that an apprenticeship is my best option if I am really serious about my goals as an artist, and am more then willing to dedicate myself to the field. Am I wasting my time hoping that some one out there is willing to take up a student who is constantly having to change their work schedule up?
