Don't worry, your son will certainly be paid. It takes about 2,000hours of on the job training and 144 hours of coursework for the length of a electricians apprenticeship.
Usually it is carrying the equipment and doing grunt work while learning like any other apprenticeship.
Any of them. That's the point of an apprenticeship. Apprenticeships are a form of learning while working. So any apprenticeship is good for someone with little experience, because the apprenticeship will give them that experience. Get a pen and paper then write down a list of what you would be interested in doing. Some options include carpenter, electrician. plumber, mechanic, brick-layer, administrator, engineer and so on. It also depends on your skills. Skills and experience are two completely different things. Everybody has natural transferable skills, which usually derive from their hobbies and interests. For example, if you own a dog, then you have skills in caring for an animal, which you can transfer to the workplace, so you could try for a farming apprenticeship or one in a dog kennel. For another example, if you enjoy cooking then you have kitchen skills which you can transfer to the workplace, so you could try for a catering or a chef apprenticeship. If you need assistance, visit a local work adviser. if you are in the UK, some organisations you could try is Jobcentre Plus, Ingeus and Salvation Army, all which provide free career advice. A good website to look at if you are in the UK is www.apprenticeships.org.uk/
If you do not want to do an apprenticeship you may be able to get a trade certificate by attending workshops or taking classes.

Being an electrician can be dangerous. I know I have at least one relative who's death was directly related to his job as an electrician. As an electrician's apprentice, you're probably doing more assisting than doing but there will likely be plenty of hands-on time. So, yes, it would still be moderately dangerous. As long as you're cautious, not all that dangerous though.
According to the US Department of Labor, most people learn the electrical trade by completing an apprenticeship program lasting 3 to 5 years. Apprenticeship gives trainees a thorough knowledge of all aspects of the trade and generally improves their ability to find a job. Although electricians are more likely to be trained through apprenticeship than are workers in other construction trades, some still learn their skills informally on the job. Others train to be residential electricians in a 3-year program. The typical large apprenticeship program provides at least 144 hours of classroom instruction and 2,000 hours of on-the-job training each year. In the classroom, apprentices learn blueprint reading, electrical theory, electronics, mathematics, electrical code requirements, and safety and first aid practices. Most apprenticeship sponsors require applicants for apprentice positions to be at least 18 years old, have a high school diploma or its equivalent, and be able to pass a skills test.

This type of question usually means you aren't ready to do this yourself. Study some electrical material and the National Electrical Code and work this answer out for yourself, or call a professional electrician. If I were to give you an answer, you might attempt to do something you shouldn't be doing, and that may cost someone a shock, a home fire, or their life.
If you pay attention to what you are doing and if you are a physical person, there will ALWAYS be work.
