    As I found out just today, Monday, things are not what they appear
    to be, and are even seldom less that when they are said to be. I had
    an apprenticeship with a so custom jeweler. The first day I started I
    was told the most important skill a jeweler can have is problem
    solving. You need to be able to think of several different way to do
    a job, and then decide which is the best. I was told the reason I
    lost my apprenticeship after almost 3 months was He needed someone
    who could do what they were told, not ask questions, and didnt have
    to checked up on or supervised. I was there to learn because I am not
    a bench jeweler. How do i learn unsupervised and unable to ask
    questions? If store owners are like this when they offer to teach
    someone, I cant imagine what it is like when they actually are paying
    the tab.
