    Hello and many thanks to all Orchidians who graciously enough to
    answer my question on this subject. Your information is invaluable
    and I have to admit I stand in a great deal of awe at some of the
    folks who answered me. I have saved all the answers and will be
    re-reading them many times. 

    I am currently in a day(?) job from 2:45pm - 1:15am and this means
    that any sort of formal training is out for at least the next four
    years which is the absolute earliest I could retire. When that day
    comes, I will certainly be looking at a school of some sort. I
    believe the closest to me would probably be Toronto Ontario Canada. 

    From reading the questions, answers and comments on this wonderful
    forum I am fully aware that I cannot do any serious metal work, or
    work with gems before being trained properly. Also I will not be
    recognized as a real jeweler without the credentials a school would
    give. Until then, I will learn as much as I can and practice the
    things I can on my own, and do the research so that when I am free to
    take proper classes I will. I can, in the meantime, become as good as
    I can be with the materials of choice available to me now. 

    Thankyou all again most sincerely, for taking your time to give me
    your points of view. 

Sheila in Ontario Canada.
