What can you do with a major/degree in Glazier Studies?

Glaziers typically need a high school diploma or equivalent to enter the occupation.  They learn their trade through a 3- or 4-year apprenticeship or on-the-job training. On the job, they learn to use the tools and equipment of the trade; handle, measure, cut, and install glass and metal framing; cut and fit moldings; and install and balance glass doors. Technical training includes learning different installation techniques, blueprint reading and sketching, general construction techniques, safety practices, and first aid.

Demand for glaziers stems both from new construction and from the need to repair and replace windows and other glass in existing buildings.
