Anybody have any opinions on pursuing a career in plastering/masonary?
Is there satisfaction in your job? How do you feel about women doing this job? Do you consider it an "art "!?
I have been a mason for 40 years. I also have been an engineer, a technician, a salesman, a marketer, and an executive in technology companies. I have started 6 technology companies. The wlls, buildings and fireplaces that I built 40 years ago are still there and will probably be there after I am dead. Most of the technology companies that I started and worked for are gone.
I recently put in 5,000 brick and 4 yards of concrete for a friend in New York. Everyone looks at my work as they go by. Even though I am a well know consultant in communications, everyone in NY calls me the bricklayer from CA. It makes me proud.
There is nothing stopping a woman from becoming a plasterer. If you’re going to do it, do it right, so you will know and always remember what you did. Come right, come big, or stay home.

Could not thank you adequately for the articles on your web site. I know you’d put a lot of time and energy into them and really hope you know how deeply I enjoy it. I hope I can do the identical thing person at some time.
