What is a bricklayer apprentice?

What is the role of a bricklayer, and how do you define it?

Bricklayers are responsible for building and repairing chimney stacks, walls and tunnel linings. They also do decorative work such as archways. They use bricks and mortar to build buildings according to approved construction plans. A bricklayer's primary responsibility is to build the first building shell.

Is it worth being a bricklayer, aside from the above? This is a great job. The bricklaying machine won't be economical on industrial sites or large straight walls. Like any trade, the ultimate goal is to learn and work hard. After your apprenticeship, you can get some experience and start working for yourself. You can make a lot of money and still have the flexibility to work around your schedule.
