    I do not have a GG from GIA and have learned a lot (maybe even most)
    of what one learns taking the GIA courses.....of course it has taken
    roughly 30 years to do that!  I probably know a lot of stuff that one
    will not learn in the GIA courses too.  On the other hand, my jewelry
    activities have never been my primary means of fiscal enrichment
    either.  If I had to do it over again, I would have taken the GIA
    course or some other program, much earlier on and then I probably
    could have learned a WHOLE LOT MORE in the same time I have invested
    thus far!  When you think about it $6000 is a drop in the bucket in
    today's academic world and it could start you on a lifetime career. 
    I say, "Just do it!" 

    Cheers from Don at The Charles Belle Studio in SOFL where simple
    elegance IS fine jewelry! dcdietz AT attbi.com
