Hello here's my story,

    I wanted to become a jeweler 25 years ago but never followed up on
    it..about 4 years ago I met a guy that had been a jeweler for 40
    years and we became good friends.He told me if I wanted he would
    take me on as an apprentice and teach me to be a jeweler.I had just
    signed on at a computer school and told him I had to go to computer
    school since I had already made the commitment but if it did not work
    out I would take him up on his offer.I was taking my A+ and then was
    going on to get my M.C.S.E. in computers and I found out that I hated
    it and.soon became a jewelers apprentice under a master jeweler.I
    went to his shop 5 hours a day 5 or 6 days a week for over one year
    learning as much as I could and really worked hard and practiced
    every day. now have my own jewelry shop.I have been in business for
    over two years and can do any kind of jewelry repair.I still go see
    him and ask his advice on really difficult or jobs that I am not
    sure about so I guess I am still in school. I learn more all the time
    and even my teacher said I will never learn it all.But I plan to try.

Billy
