Pros

Just finished school, and I intend to attend University at some point in the near future. However I have worked before as a bricky's Labourer and I was quite good at it. the difference now is I would to ear and save money, while gaining an experience, and a qualification. on top of that I actually simply, just really want something like this because it feels right.

Cons

I can't really see any cons, in working hard everyday and learning something while saving money and gaining a certain kind of satisfaction from the independence I get from learning and helping myself by helping my career.
