was saskpoly worth it for trades?

want to ask people who did a one year program from saskpoly in any trade what pay it landed them.

I want to become a heavy duty mechanic/tech and applied to the one year program thinking that after graduation i'd be fully qualified. but i just found out that it’s a 4 year red seal trade. i called both saskpoly and the sask apprentice and trade commission and neither could tell me how many apprentices hours the program would count for.

10k is a lot of money and i want to make sure it's worth it. those that did a one year program, what apprentice level were you able to work as? what was your starting pay and do you know what it might've been if you didn't do the program?

thanks a lot
