Michael,

    I was reading through this thread. I also have a fine arts
    background. I manage a Jared repair shop in MN. We do basic bench
    jewelry, repair, setting, pearl stringing and a little custom. Our
    company is always working for enthusiastic people who have the have
    the "bug". I would like to suggest that in the Chicago area there are
    several Sterling Inc affiliated stores but check with any of the
    "Jared" stores. They always have a repair shop. Jared shops are full
    service jeweler, doing repair to custom work. It may not be the
    jewelry as fine art, if that is what your looking for. But it is a
    good company to work for with great benefits. There may be apprentice
    level openings that could get you in the door with a decent paycheck
    but more valuable it the education benefits (along with a strong
    benefit package for employees) Sterling teaches and trains on every
    level. With Sterling you can learn and grow with a great company.
    There are also a lot of promotion opportunities offered at Sterling
    that aren't usually open to jewelers. And I will also encourage you
    to learn and develop your skills every where you can. Good luck and I
    hope you find not just a job your looking for but a career.
