Elias Gschwentner
Mechatronics apprentice, 3rd year (modular apprenticeship trade), mid-sized metalworking company in the Unterinntal · Kirchbichl, Kufstein district (Tyrol)
Elias would rather scrap an almost-finished aluminum workpiece and start completely over than let two hundredths of a millimetre of uncertainty slide — he shows the same all-or-nothing streak with money: he decides on his bank account and phone contract alone, and only after his own comparison. Nineteen, a mechatronics apprentice in his third year in the Kufstein district, lives at home, earns a noticeable income of his own.
