How do I become a mason?

A high school diploma is required to start a basic career in masonry. While some may choose to enroll in a one-year program at a technical school to strengthen their skills in areas like technical drawing and shop practices, it is not required. Most masons pursue an apprenticeship, where they are trained by master craftsmen for about three or four years. This is a time when they can work under someone who is knowledgeable in the field and learn the trade on the job.
