    I don't know how to generalize this email for everyones feedback, I
    thank you all for the information you have given, it was really
    needed and I will put it to good use, as for some unanswered areas
    about me, My associates is going to be in Fine arts that I wish to
    carry to a BFA then MFA... But like I said I barely have money for my
    1 jewelery class right now and don't know if I will be returning next
    year depending on how bad it gets. 

    I will basically take almost any work, I don't even mind the idea of
    a sales job in order to get my foot in the door, and as for the pay
    well even if its not good it cant be worse than what I am making now,
    and I would rather be doing something I loved for basically nothing
    rather than something I don't like... A job is a job and I am sure
    after a few years within the jewelery field I may get my down times
    but I do not think I will every hate the job, ever since I took my
    first class I fell in love with Metal, I took 2 years off from it and
    was a computer informations major, I came crawling back to jewelery
    because I thought about it almost every day for those two years. So
    indeed I do have the "Bug" and I don't know if I could ever consider
    it a job like I said above because I love it so much. 

    As to Phillip, Someone would want to hire me because I have basic
    skills withing the field because I can adapt and learn very quickly,
    I would be dedicated, because I love doing it, I have extremely
    strong work ethics and am very disciplined on all standard levels (
    Punctuality, Calling off, attitude, even in the job I dislike right
    now). The stone setting, well if you saw them you would prob spit in
    my face with the experience you have, they need work, lots of work. I
    was always in this for the metal and just added stones to my agenda
    last quarter of school. What can I do for them now? well right now
    without them willing to train me further I would be a great sales
    associate while I train myself in my spare time, if they would be
    willing to put forth a effort into me I would not disappoint them I
    have never disappointed my employers even at the jobs I hated going
    in to. I agree I have a confidence problem, I don't think allot of my
    work is good but I am told differently by everyone, I suppose that is
    better than being arrogant though, right? At 22 the teenage exuberance
    is drained from my blood, I have held a job down since I was 14 years
    old, I have no more time for teenage exuberance it tires me.

    Alright thats allot, long day.... I think I have lost my mind. 

    I want to thank everyone again for there input I really needed it.
