    Dear Verna and others. I am writing ,not to stir up any more of the
    ART /  CRAFT - Hate and Discontent discussion. Like others , I believe
    there must be a balance. 

    I would like to go to school further and in particular , in Art. I
    want to learn more of the perception and manipulation of symbols . 

    Like others , the economy has me still looking for work . I currently
    have too much time on my hands , waiting for the other shoe to fall. 

    I will continue at a small local college because I will not be able
    to continue elsewhere due to money and age considerations. I am 57
    years and have 200 +  hrs under graduate credit. 

    I recently attended TIJT at Paris TX. 5 Semesters for 70 + hrs.
    leading to Graduate of Jewelry Technology Ass. Degree and Graduate of
    Gemological Science . 

    There are other schools and resources out there. Alan Revere and
    Robert Wooding are just a few who offer great video tapes. 

    Below is a great on line resource. First Class.

    Consider becoming a Certified Bench Technician . Also , becoming a
    Graduate Gemologist or a Graduate of Gemological Science. This will
    add two more semesters to your schooling. 

    I admire your efforts and opportunities so far, I wish you all the
    best. And in the meanwhile, we can share in this online community. 

    Please share your insights with us.
