What is a Mason?

Masons build brick walls, pour concrete, lay down tiles, and more. The more we build, the more masons we need, which makes it a quickly-growing field.

How Much Money Do Masons Make?

The average mason makes around $38,000 per year, but there’s tons of room for growth. Another plus is that it only takes one semester to get certified at York Tech!
