I'm just an ordinary dude who has done lots of tough jobs like bricklayer's laborer, construction worker, night shift big city cab driver, bouncer/doorman, security, etc. [I haven't been President yet. Just waiting for the call] But the hardest job I ever tackled was looking after 2 girls (2 and 4 years old) for 2 weeks, 10am to 10pm for a working mother who could not find a sitter in the area. What an edukation! Somehow I survived and they did too. I gotta hand it to you ladies So wadda you think? Is raising kids the toughest assignment around?

I am taking classes in architecture, but I dont have a job and need a job in the meantime. I was thinking if I could get on a work crew and apprentice for a little bit? Is it a long process, or would I find the work easy to get into?

A company wants to build a brick wall. Working together, an experienced bricklayer and an apprentice can build the wall in 12 hours. Working alone, it takes the apprentice 10 hours longer than the experienced bricklayer to do the job. How long would it take the apprentice to build the wall alone?

I'm looking for stable work, and I've decided that bricklaying seems to be the job for me. I don't have any training in it, though. I went to the bricklayers union website, and I can't find any information about apprenticeships. I live in New York City.

Hi - we are in the process of assessing our eligibility to emigrate to Australia (to Perth, WA), and my husband is a bricklayer / builder. I was wondering if anyone out there could give us an idea of the current salary levels for bricklayers and what demand for them there is at present. When we were there last year it looked as though there was a lot of work underway, but I am not sure if that is still the case. I would be really grateful for any feedback to help us make an informed decision. Thanks!!

I am trying to find a union employer that will sponsor and employ me as an apprentice. I am near Chicago, and I would prefer a position as a carpenter, electrician, bricklayer, operating engineer, or iron worker. I am pretty open. I just want to learn a trade and be able to work with my hands. I would prefer a union for the added benefits and good pay.

I want to get in to the management side of things but first want to learn the grass-roots practical aspects of working on a building site. Which jobs on a building site require no previous qualifications? Someone told me a hod carrier is the lowest ranking, so to speak, so could I just walk on to a building site after a health/ safety briefing and start work as one of these? What about a labourer or a brick layer? I have heard you now need to take a course to be a bricklayer- if so, how long does this take and cost, roughly? Thanks!
