Is Stone mason a good job?

These are prized and being able to specialise in certain work, with a particular style, is important and will help see you 'carve' out a good career. It's demanding work so you should be willing to have good physical fitness and strength. Lifting heaving stone and working with large, powerful tools is tiring work.
