"Help out with plastering walls at contruction sites." ~ Cube
Working in Masonry(Plasterer in the refine version) is a potential job in Princess Maker 2. Olive can start doing this job after she turns 12.
Description[]
Olive helps out building walls at construction sites. She passes around cement and learns the skills of masonry. The thorough labour makes her healthier and stronger, plus it lets her use her art skills a little, but the long time spent outdoors slowly affects her appearance.
Recommendation[]
This job raises Constitution faster and pays better than farming, however it requires high art (at very least Adept level and around 40/50 points) to work at efficiently. If you've been raising your art by the time this job becomes available, you should switch to this immediately: it works like an upgrade of farming, with the only downside being that you can't let your stress get as high as you can with farming before failing until you max out art. Charisma doesn't matter much until Olive is 14, and there are enough bonuses to build up a decent amount of it later. Master brushes greatly raise the efficiency on this job if you plan to work on it for long.
By the late game, you might want to hold off doing this since Charisma is not that easy to regain. However, the Constitution raise is very efficient and the pay is pretty good, besides Charisma has enough bonuses that you can regain from a few losses, so it can be worth doing a few sessions of masonry work.
If you have high enough Art Skill to do well at this job in the first place early game, however, it pays slightly better to work at the Salon instead if Olive also has the Sensitivity for it, and doing so instead is highly recommended for 'normal' playthroughs - unless for some reason Olive intends to max out her Constitution for the Fighter Endings as (unless you really care about keeping her weight low early on) simply switching Olive to a Hearty Meal to gain Constitution each month should normally suffice for Olive's HP for most fights at the mid-late game.
