Hello Naziyr: Check out Recruiter.com site and scroll through the entire page to see the annual salary and hourly rate; and which states pays the highest to lowest.

Tile Setters, also known as Tile Installers, lay tile in homes and buildings, including the floors in bathrooms and kitchens. Laying tile requires applying adhesive to sub flooring, walls and other surfaces, as well as cutting the tile to fit the designated area. Protective gear for eyes and knees may be necessary to prevent injuries from airborne particles and hours spent kneeling on the job. Tile setters should have customer service and time management skills as well as experience with computer-aided design, cost estimating and project management software.

Tile Setters made a median annual salary of $38,230 in 2015 according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Masonry workers, also known as masons, use bricks, concrete blocks, concrete, and natural and manmade stones to build walls, walkways, fences, and other masonry structures. Check out US Dept. of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics (Brick Mason) and found the following information. Make sure to navigate between all the tabs.

The median annual wage for masonry workers was $42,900 in May 2017. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $27,750, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $76,020.

Since the two workers are similar I'm sure you would be able to use your skills in both areas. And, perhaps even start your own company one day. :)

Best of Luck to You!
