    Those were the very same words I used in the interview with the
    "Bench" magazine two months ago. I did say "get into a factory and
    learn the basics". What you can learn in one year at a factory is like
    going to university. Trade schools are "the cream on the cake", and
    they are so worthwhile. Retail jewellery shops want only well
    experienced staff, not learners. I know this for a fact. I spent 14
    years in one, very large jewellery factory during MY younger
    apprenticeship years... 

Gerry!
