Damiel, goo, etc.,

    I don't know what it's like in other states, but there is a way, in
    California, to get Rehab to pay for an apprenticeship: working
    through the "approved tutor" system. This requires that the "master"
    fill out some forms and go through an interview process, and it's
    most likely to be approved if s/he has teaching experience. Also, you
    have to convince them that you can't get the same training through a
    local approved program. 

    The pay isn't great--my tutor, who has a Ph. D., received only
    $18/hr, and this was in the very expensive Bay Area--but it makes up
    for some of the money the tutor loses while training and supervising
    an apprentice. It might work really well for someone like Daniel, who
    already has some basic skills, and could spend a couple of hours
    soldering jump rings for every hour learning to set stones.
