Altana

    First of all. $30,000 is bit of a steep trip to take, I started to
    work in a factory scene where I learned my apprenticeship in setting.
    I was only 16 then, its a long road but you do learn as you go
    along. If you like 'hands-on', take this route. You might need
    eventually a mentor who will guide you along. You might have to pay
    him/her some shekels to cover 'their' time with you, I would
    definitely suggest this route for now....then afterwards take some
    'hands on' courses with some of the well known trade schools who are
    plying their expertice in the States, I won't suggest any over the
    Web. But hit "Google", but look for the "basics" for a start. You
    should have a bench at home and practice, practice....:>) 

    I will send you a list of tools that you should look into and their
    uses... 

Gerry Lewy!
