Altana--

    There are lots of ways to pursue a life as a jeweler--and altho I've
    only heard good things about GIA, you have lots of options. Lots and
    lots of schools have adult ed. classes--that's how I started. They
    are taught by instructors at all different levels. 

    There is Metalwerx in Waltham, Mass--which is a fabulous place to
    learn--take classes and have the opportunity to work on your own, as
    well--with a selection of instructors --many of whom are world
    famous. And the atmosphere is great--very friendly and warm, but
    serious about what they do. There also the Revere Academy in San
    Francisco. I haven't been there personally, but I know some of their
    teachers--can't be beat. Check out both websites--for a lot less than
    $30,000 I'm sure you can find what you want--and learn in a wonderful
    environment. 

    (My guess is that you will get a lot of responses/suggestions from
    this forum as well.) 

Good luck--and have fun.
Carolyn
