    I didn't realize until this thread quite how unique a few of us are
    out there in the real world. As I said earlier I started making
    jewelry when I was 15 and never stopped. But that meant that I never
    went to college (well part time for a semester and a half---while
    earning a living making jewelry full time), and never held any other
    job besides making jewelry. Actually I started my own jewelry
    business when I was 19 so really I only worked for someone else for
    a few years (part time----most of that time----since I was still in
    high school). It looks like those of us who saw our future this
    early are extremely far and few between. Interestingly, too, is that
    I had no family background in the field either (which seems to be the
    way some other young starters got going). I feel like all of you
    other guys should bow down and worship us for seeing the light so
    early on (just kidding, just kidding)!!!
