Careers In Masonry

Is Masonry the Right Educational and Career Choice?

Masonry is one of oldest forms of construction and has a proud tradition of attracting highly skilled engineers and artisans. However, as the construction industry continues to boom, we are facing a shortage of qualified and experienced craftspeople to fulfill the skyrocketing demand for masonry projects.

Most contractors will provide on the job training. In addition to earning a paycheck while you’re learning, you also gain valuable experience.

Everyone wants a job they love. Working in masonry gives you the opportunity to say, “I built that,” at the end of every project.

A paycheck isn’t everything, but a good one sure helps. Brick/block masons made an average of $48,000 annually in Nebraska in 2014. Mason helpers made $32,000 annually in 2014. It pays to work in masonry!
