The unlikest of jobs for graduates in South Korea seem to be getting increasingly popular. Bricklaying, tiling, and wallpapering gigs are now being embraced, as white collar jobs becoming difficult to secure. It takes only about three to eight months to get proper certification for tiling in South Korea. The government also raised subsidies for the unemployed and college students to learn such skills. The average monthly income of bricklayers in South Korea is nearly 5,000 US dollars.
