Amanda-

    I am just finishing my time at GIA and can do little but sing
    praises for the education that I have received. I am a GG and I will
    be finishing my GJ in March. In a matter of months, I went from
    being gem illiterate, to having a well rounded basis on which to
    build a lifetime of learning and exploration. 

    When I decided to enroll at GIA, I was only going to take the GJ
    class, but my wise old Dad thought that the GG was the cornerstone
    forof this industry.(I've got no family ties to the trade, so I'm
    starting fresh!) I cannot believe how much I learned in such a short
    period of time! But where I'll go from here remains to be seen. 

    I guess the long and short of it is, if it interests you, go for it.
    You'll holda respected diploma that no one can take away from you.
    Knowledge never hurts.

    Feel free to contact me offline if youhave any further questions
    about the GIA.

Good Luck!
Jim
