What is the process of becoming a bricklayer?

    Hey just a quick question.

    I've been working in bars for the past few years, absolutely hated it by the end and have since quit. I'm now considering doing an apprenticeship in bricklaying as a change of career path. I've done very basic pointing/laying with my father and found it enjoyable, although I'm not sure how well this translates into bricklaying. Ideally I'd like to emigrate to Canada asap with this skill.

    Anyone know what path I would take to this? Anyone have experience in this profession willing to give me some tips/advice?

    Thanks for reading and I hope you can help!

    First thing you would be best of getting a job labouring for Brickies, doing this will teach u a lot rather than trying to just jump on the trowel.
    And you would no if you would want to do an apprenticeship with that person.

    You wouldn't b emigrating to soon as an apprenticeship is four years and even after that it you would have that much exp so the money wouldn't great.
    What area are you might be able to get u a few numbers?
    Hope that helps.
