    I am disability retired as well. The school goes to great efforts to
    help. I went through Texas Rehab. Other students have gone from out
    of state rehab programs. I know I tried their patience as well. 

    In the TIJT job listing for 9 - 25 - 01 to 5 - 21 - 02, I counted 163
    Job Offers. This includes Gemologists as well as primarily bench
    Jewelers. There was another job listing for the watchmaking
    students. 

    If I have been overly zealous in praising this school. I apologize.
    163 job offers, for graduates, in one year speaks volumes. 

    Search " Jewelry Boot Camp " for my impressions while I was
    attending I privately referred to the Director as " Das Commissar " 

    Susannah, when did you attend? I went 5 semesters from 2000 to 2003 

Robb.
