David Williams at SpectrumNews1.com in Louisville, Kentucky focuses a spotlight on Bricklayers & Allied Craftworkers Local 4 of Indiana and Kentucky Apprentice Preston Roby - who had plans to become a Lawyer, but changed his mind after talking to his Father, who’d been a Bricklayer for nearly 30 years.  “It was the money, to be honest,” he said.  “(I) ran the numbers and figured I could make more money doing Bricklayer work rather than actually finishing out and getting my degree.”  Roby told Williams he hopes to inspire people to get into the profession, especially younger people: “Hopefully, my story can inspire maybe either someone that’s thinking about going to college but doesn’t think that it’s right for them to just try something new.  The Apprenticeship will pay you while you’re learning.”
