Marble Setters, Tile Setters, and Terrazzo Workers

Advancement Prospects

Skilled tile, terrazzo, and marble setters may become supervisors with the responsibility of managing work crews for large contractors. They can also become self-employed and do contracting on their own. Self-employed contractors must know not only the skills of the trade but also the principles of business. These skills include sales, bidding, bookkeeping, and supervising workers.
