    I was going to say the same thing, but I've said it so many times on
    Orchid I thought perhaps I'd reached my limit, and that everyone was
    tired of hearing me say it. 

    Trade school is not only necessary (on top of a BFA) but it's an
    excellent way to help you get hired in this industry.  My GIA
    training and trade school are the only things that ever got me work
    in this industry. 

    I'm sure it's disappointing to hear that you need to spend more time
    and money on education.  Sorry.
